Is it a bug? Absolute Position in instance, but Auto Layout in Component

I have a component with Icon R layer in Auto Layout. But when I created an instance from it and resized, show the layer, it get Absolute position. How is that possible? I tried it on other instances and it got the same problem. I don’t want to click “Reset all” all the time, I have bunch of things to design today.

Timing of the animating lines getting changed

video link: community doubt.mp4 - Google Drive In the above video the green rectangle animating within the path of 4 vectors. Both the smaller paths shown is the duplicate of the same component and similarly the big path on the top. All the timings of the animation are same however the timing of the animation (ie. green rectangle animating within the path changes without any consistency). I don’t know what is the problem in this animation.

Bug on component status=hover?

Hi, I don’t know if that is a bug on component tools on Figma. I think that you understand the problem when you see that image: If i edit the text on a instance of component, the status=Hover don’t work. I use trigger=While hovering as even. That interaction is easy. I don’t understand. Can you help me please?

Figma with Arc Browser

For the past number of weeks, I’ve had issues exporting in Figma. I have to refresh the page every time in order to export any files. When I click File>Export, it has all the frames selected, and not just the one or two frames that I’d like to export. I had no issues until I updated my arc browser recently. Has any one else been running into these issues?

Move around with middle click? (windows)

Hello! Does anyone know if that feature is still available? Or do they remove this permanently? Before the new update, I still could use a middle click to drag. But after the update, I can’t do it anymore and can’t find settings about it. I’m a one-handed user and it makes me quite inconvenient after it’s gone 😣 I can live with it. But it would be nice if I can get it back again.

How do you manage icons' source file while flattening is required by the icon library?

I know that outline + flatten is recommended to get consist and ensured shape thanks to Figma’s buggy vector feature, but these destructive editing will make icons hard to be edited in the future. How do you keep your icon library still editable while flatten every icon at the final step?

Are the automatic auto layout settings frustrating anyone else?

Recently Figma has made changes to how child and parent elements automatically apply auto layout rules when you first add auto layout to them. It seems like Figma is trying to guess what I want my settings to be (fill vs. hug vs. fixed, that kind of thing). When this works it’s helpful, but in practice I find that it’s usually not applying the properties that I want it to apply. I’m having to spend so much time tweaking the AL settings after I press Shift + A and it has finally annoyed me enough that I felt like making a topic about it. This is especially the case when I’m creating new component sets (I almost always use AL for these) and my components all get set to fill when I want them to remain fixed width, and the component set is set to a fixed width instead of hug. I have to go in and reset all the children to fixed with, and the parent frame to hug, every single time. I gave it an adjustment phase but after a few weeks I have to say that this is still really bothering me and co

Is Absolute Position supposed to disable 'Scale' and 'Left and Right' constraints?

I have an auto-layout frame with a fixed width (the screen). I like to resize it every now and then to check how everything looks in different screen sizes. Inside it I have another frame (a translucent navbar/header) set to absolute so it sits on top of other elements. However I want it to always match the width of the screen. As soon as that’s changed, I have to manually fix the header each time. I’ve found some related threads (1, 2) that seem to have a similar issue, but it seems they’re bugs and the workaround is to set the position to “scroll with parent”. In my situation, the element is already set to it, so they might’ve have a different problem. What am I doing wrong?

Nested buttons in library components seemingly randomly are snapping to smaller pixel height, anyone know why?

Buttons inside components such as dialogs and modals are being seen to set themselves from 44px tall to 20px across design. The library component has a button group in an autolayout. Buttons are fixed height at 44px, auto layout set to hug. Recently some buttons here and there, seems random are changing their fixed height to 20px, always 20. I am not sure why. Any ideas?

Slot height reset from "hug" to "fixed" everytime I change its device variant within a big molecule component

Hi Everyone, I have a problem with replacing slots within a larger molecule component. I’ve built a complex component designed to be highly customizable. There are 6 slots that can be replaced by 8 pre-defined components (atoms or smaller molecules, each with desktop and mobile variants). Additionally, this molecule has both desktop and mobile variants. All slot widths are set to fill the container, and their heights hug the content. Therefore, in theory, the replaced slot should adjust to the height of the replaced component. While this works initially, changing the device variant of the molecule and then a single slot item changes its height from “hug content” to “fixed size,” which messes up the autolayout. If this is unclear, please see the attached video: Dropbox I even tried recreating this molecule from scratch, but the problem persists. Any ideas on what I might be doing wrong, or could this be a bug in Figma?

How to nest a preview of a Figma design frame into a different file

I have a project that includes various design elements—emails, social stories and social posts. I am designing these in separate Figma design documents. Each individual item (post, story, email) is it’s own frame. In order to present these to the client, I want to create a separate Figma design file that shows the campaign. This will have multiple pages, each showing one or more of the design documents. For example, one page might feature an email and social post, another might feature two emails. I would like to embed a live preview of my email design into the presentation document WITHOUT making a copy of the entire email as I will NOT be making any design changes in the presentation document. For those familiar with Adobe, think of it as an indesign file presentation with the designs as linked Photoshop files. When I update the photoshop file, the indesign links are updated.

SAVING TO CLOUD icon not disappearing

Hi guys, Why is the SAVING TO CLOUD icon near the avatar never go away sometimes? I do have a big file and sometimes I change something tiny and all hell breaks loose. Performance plummets and the SAVING icon and snackbar are always there. Why? How do I fix this? Please don’t roll out new features before fixing bugs, it’s really annoying. My job is to design, not to debug and find bug workarounds. Thank you kindly, Chris
