Component Overrides don't apply to variants

I should be shocked that this is still a thing…and yet I’m not shocked.

Definitely an issue.

What I’m doing and the result I’m expecting:

• I add an instance of my component with hover state interaction to my file.
• I change the color of that instance.
• I run the prototype and my component (which is blue) now shows the override color (orange) on the default AND hover states.

What’s actually happening:

• The component shows the override color (orange) on the default state plus elements common to both states, but NOT on the elements that are changing with hover (for example: a changing icon.)

One thing I have learned about Figma: the thing you expect to happen is never the thing that actually happens, and you can never tell if it’s a bug or not.

I may have a solution:
I removed the accents, apostrophes, etc. from my variant names, published the library, and the bug disappeared.
Then I renamed my variants with the accents, etc. just to see..., published the library and it continued to work.

I’ve literally been trying to fix this issue all day.
