Preserve Scroll Position is not working for a nav in auto layout

I’m trying to preserve the scroll on a form. I have named the top layers as the same (apply now) which is what all the support I’ve read has said to do. The page that I want to preserve scroll also has an apply now frame but it is not a component. Any ideas? Thanks!

Hi Anna! Thank you for taking the time to share the details of your issue!
This looks odd 🤔 Can you also try to edit the top-level frame names with matching prefix to see if that helps? (Frame names have a common prefix, followed by a forward slash. For example, frames Checkout / Empty and Checkout / Complete match. )
Reminder: Top-level frames are frames placed directly on the canvas.

Do you know how to keep a top frame when the rest of the page is in auto layout? I’m struggling with that as the page needs auto layout for the footer to be pushed down as the accordion menu opens. If the whole frame isn’t in auto layout then the footer cuts off at the bottom.

Thanks

      Hi Celine and Annack,
      I’ve been reading about preserve scroll position, and I have the same issue when my page is in an auto layout. I also have some open/close composent that pushed the components right under. When the page is just a frame, the interaction preserve the scroll position. But it doesn’t when I auto layout my page. And I have renamed and match all my frames as told in your articles.
      Have you any tips for this ?
      Thank you
