To reproduce:

  1. Create a frame of size X by Y
  2. Create a rect of the same size and place it inside the frame at (0, 0)
  3. Click outside the frame to clear selection
  4. Click the rect

Expected behavior: rect is selected.

Actual behavior: frame is selected.

 

If the rect is not the same width and height as the frame, it works correctly.

Hi ​@Bruno Ely 

 

Thanks for reaching out. I think it’s expected. In order to select nested later, deep select is handy one. Hold down the modifier key to select the top-level frame or a nested layer or object by clicking it on the canvas.

  • Mac: ⌘ Command
  • Windows: Control

I hope it helps but please let me know if I misunderstand!

 

Thanks,
Toku
