BUG: Auto-layout issue in Overlay when using Variable Mode

  • September 13, 2024

When switching variable modes in an overlay the new values do not follow the autolayout rules.

I think this is a bug because closing and reopening the model will fix the autolayout issues. To fix this I included a duplicate of the modal and switch between them when changing the variable mode.

Let me know if anyone is interested in links or images.

    I encountered the same issue today. It seems like the autolayout properties aren’t immediately respected when the mode changes. If I manually change the size of the parent component, then the change seems to be noticed and it immediately readjusts itself. 

    I have found this happens if the frame that doesn’t resize is a component instance and uses any kind of variable (no matter if it is color, spacing...)
