Auto Layout: Frames in instances turn into absolute positioned elements

I am having that bug too. So annoyed.

Hey everyone,
Thanks for flagging this! We would like our technical specialist to investigate it further. Please reach out directly to the support team by filling this form: https://help.figma.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
Be sure to use your Figma account email, share your video of the issue, include the link to the effected file, and share it with support-share@figma.com so they can take a closer look. Thank you!

I have seen a few posts on this in the last few days. You are not alone. Hopefully Figma starts acting on bugs instead of just telling everyone “we know, but you should go fill out a bug report.”

Hi there! Sorry for any miscommunication here - As mentioned, we would like to gather additional information in order to reproduce the issue from the users who are affected by this directly. (and also to check what changes you recently made in the file before you noticed the issue starting.)

This will help us and the technical quality team to better investigate the root cause of the issue (and from the user’s end).

Thank you for your understanding 🙏

@Celine_Figma I am also experiencing this issue and found some other similar topics. It’s an important one for me and I’m hoping to see it resolved because it is forcing me to detach components in my designs. If there’s any more info needed from the technical team I can provide.

The issue I have is that I have a button component with a nested icon instance inside of it. In the main button component, the icon instance has relative positioning, but when I use the button component inside my card component, the icons receive absolute positioning from somewhere that I can’t remove. This causes the button instance to ignore the icon when set to “hug” so it looks broken.

Hey Brian! Thanks for the details! Can you please fill out directly this form with the details here.
Be sure to use your Figma account email, also include a quick video recording if you are able to, a link to the file, and share it with support-share@figma.com as an Editor, so we can take a closer look. Thank you!
