Hi,

I figured out a bizarre behavior when I try to rezise instance of component.

It happens after last Figma’s update Figma Desktop App version 125.7.5 (some days ago).

I will try to explain it, in a short way :

Legacy, I created a component Text which wraps a child instance of component Rte. This Rte component was created for utilties reasons : it display generic text for a bunch of differents others components.

The 2 components Text and Rte by default use an auto-layout root wrapper and a fixed width (280px) which is define inside a variable. When I use instances of these components, I override the resizing from Fixed to Fill, in order to get responsive behavior with different viewports width.

It worked fine, before the update.

Now when I reset an instance of component which is wrapped as a child inside a component (screenshot 1)  the resize property is set on Fixed width using my variable of 280px (screenshot 2). Ok until then.

And when I want to override the resizing property of my instance to Fill. It remains stuck on Fixed and broke my design (screenshot 3). The only way to override it, is to detach the instance of Text and the nested instance of Rte. And sometimes, I just can't edit my text layer.

If I copy an instance of another one component which already get an override width on Fill and then, switch the component with my component Text, it works.

Screenshot 1 : Instance of Text gets legacy overrided resizing to Fill

Screenshot 2 : Instance of Text is reset to is original fixed sizing

Screenshot 3 : Fill resizing is available but remains stuck on Fixed resizing

Does this problem speak to anyone?

Thanks and nice to read you  :)
