Auto Layout Not Aligning Properly After Update — Bug or Setting?

Hi everyone,
After the latest Figma update, my Auto Layout frames suddenly stopped aligning the way they used to. Elements are shifting slightly, padding feels inconsistent, and some layers no longer snap correctly even though all the alignment settings look normal.

Here’s what I’ve tried so far:

  • Resetting padding, spacing, and alignment

  • Re-applying “Hug / Fill / Fixed” properties

  • Toggling Auto Layout alignment options

  • Testing the same components in a new blank file

The issue still appears, so I’m wondering:
Is this a new bug, or did Figma introduce a new behavior I’m missing?

If anyone has found a workaround or can confirm the same issue, it would help a lot.

(By the way, I’m working on some UI designs for a bridal-themed project, where aesthetics matter as much as precision — similar to choosing a perfect gold plated bridal set to complete a wedding look. So alignment glitches slow things down quite a bit.)

Thanks in advance!
