Since the recent updates, the autolayout frame resizing functionality has been experiencing issues. Specifically, when switching between horizontal and vertical orientations, all child layers are reverting from their intended “fill” or “hug” behaviors to a “fixed width” constraint resulting in the inner layrs no loner being responsive.


This unexpected change in layout behavior is causing disruptions in the overall design production.


See Video for example



I’ve been having the same issue since around the Config.

I’ve recorded the similar issue I have (below).




Really, really infuriating as I rely quite heavily on Auto Layouts in my prototypes.
