Question

After latest update, components in design system are broken size/scale wise.

I noticed that after the last update some of my nested components are broken in sizing/scaling. I would reload my library after publishing and half the instance across various screens would take off. Specifically the components are getting bigger somehow. 

For instance this image component, nested in a product card, should be as is in the version on the bottom, after reloading the component from the ds library the image is bigger. Or the stamp in the footer is correctly inserted in the beige space in DS itself but as an instance it seems to enlarge quite a bit. 

This happens with images, icons, other assets like stamps etc. It seems that it needs me to manually redo everything now (copy-pasting from DS library, editing etc) and i do not have that type of time/budget for this big of a project.

I did some testing in the icon file. The issue appears as soon as you try to copy a resized instance (top row).
A new observation: it only happens when using design tokens. The bottom row works fine. I used fixed values there. 

Can someone confirm my observation?

Hi ​@djv, looks like it’s happening again. Any visibility on a potential fix? Thanks a lot

​@Oleg8 In my case it seems very random. I have a hard time finding a pattern. Some with tokens are some are not. What seems certain is that those that do not have tokens seem to be fine.
This is very frustrating. ​@djv can we have an update please, it's been 2 days now 😅?

Not only is this happening in instances of component using SVG icons, but similar to last months break.

1- Any instance overrides are being reset when i change a variant property 
eg, set a text input instance to fill in an auto-layout group -  Then change its state to “focused” and the master component fixed width value is applied

2- I duplicate any frame containing items with auto-layout overrides on instance and all size value are re-set to the initial master value

Same issue here. The components are totally fine within the designsystem file but icons with constraints are not scaled correctly when copy-pasted to a design file or added from the asset library. 
Strange thing is that detaching the component makes the icon scale as intended.

Seems like the scaling constraints are completely off at the moment …
 

Tag component when added from the asset library
Tag component when detatched is visually correct

By the way: I tried the “regenerate all instances” trick mentioned earlier in this thread. It worked on the first file but not on the second and the third 🫣

 ​@Stein Olav Pettersen lucky you! After clicking on the icons (usually, in some cases just clicking on them would help me scale them to the intended position) I would run regenerate all instances and all the icons would break the scale again 😓

​@Alex172 Thought I managed to make a fix by wrapping the icon in a frame (just adding complexity to the component so kind of stupid …). But It worked for all instances except for one. Decided to try and regenerate all instances and hoped for the best. Guess what happened … All instances broke except one 🫣

​@Stein Olav Pettersen as of now I have not found any valid workaround… Did not test the component refactoring and am trying to avoid doing this as much as possible.

Just halted my main tasks and waiting for ​@djv and her team to fix the bug..
