For at least 6 months I’ve noticed prototypes having issues. The text jumps on hover and click. Icons and other components as well. It looks like the prototype was made without consistent alignment. But they were created using auto layout. It’s not just my prototypes, I’ve seen it on colleagues’ as well. It happens with interactions inherited from components as well as interactions added directly in a frame. I’ve switched jobs in this time so I know it isn’t a file, organization, or device issue. I’ve tried moving a very simple prototype into a new file, to confirm that it wasn’t a file size problem.


Nothing seems to help.


Here’s the weirdest part. This problem has persisted all over my prototypes non stop. Until just now. Almost everything stopped jumping for a few minutes, but details were still disappearing. Parts of icons blanking on click and then reappearing, etc. Some elements are still jumping a little. It’s back to jumping now.


What is going on.
