Question

Hello,

I have a component with a shared text property accross all variants.
I want the hover state to be underline, so I apply underline to the hover variant.
But since it’s sharing a common text property, the underline apply to all variants.

Is that a bug ? or a bad feature ?
I’m not sure but that’s really annoying

Here’s a screenshot to demonstrate the bug : I have several variants with differents text style linked to the same text property :
 



As soon as I underline one of the variant, it apply the override to all variants :
 



It’s probably a bug, since my understanding is that a text property is only about content itself, not the styling. So a styling override shouldn’t affect the text property value

I’m having the same problem, and it’s preventing me from making this component I’m working on.

Hey ​@Hugo-M  and ​@csereid 👋 

I tried to reproduce this and couldn't, which actually points us somewhere useful.

My test (Short version): in a clean file with two variants (Default / Hover) both bound to the same text property, applying underline to just one variant stayed on that variant only. It didn't propagate.

A couple of things that would help me pin it down:

  • How are you applying the underline?
  • What font + weight are the variants using?
  • In your screenshots the variants have different text styles tied to one property — are those styles shared/linked, or set individually per variant?

My hunch is the trigger is a shared text style rather than the text content property, since a text property only governs content. If you can confirm those three details (a quick screen recording of the moment the underline jumps across would be gold), I can try to repro it exactly. Thanks! — Jaycee

I’m having a similar issue. I only want the underline on hover but it keeps adding to the default state.

Any update?

Hey ​@Peter Scott 👋 Thanks for your post.Looking at the update given by support, I can confirm is that this is the current known limitation when there is a text decoration override applied to the same text properties. I understand why this is not the behaviour you want. We’ll get this added as feedback. If I get an update, I’ll post back here. — Jaycee
