Hi,

I've been looking into this for a while now, and I haven't seen this issue reported anywhere.

Since 3-4 days, when I have a component with nested components inside, if I ever try to create variants of this main components, it resets the inner components interaction.

Example : Simple component, the interactions on the nested components works as intended.

 

If I add a variant property to this component, whatever it is, the inner components interactions gets reset, and try to access its main component??


I never had this problem before but since it started it occurs on all of my projects…
The “reset component state” box is unchecked.
I do have Figma’s latest version, tried reloading the tabs, restarted Figma itself, I don’t know what to do and it’s getting me mad, please help 😭

    Hi ​@Jaycee Lewis! I tried once more today, and the issue seems to persist 😔 (i also tried pasting a component into another component that already had variants to see if the pasted component doesn’t have this weird interaction bug but with no success...)

    Thanks for opening a ticket, I don’t know if there’s any log I can provide to help you? (also, sorry for my bad english, it’s not my native language 😅)
