Did background blur stop working?

I have a prototype that should have background blur set on the header and navigation menu. I’ve noticed they’ve stopped blurring the background underneath. What gives?

Update: throwing a blurred box into the prototype seemed to trigger it to start working again on a test prototype, but it continues to not work on the current prototype. Might be a bug with background blur?

It seems to reactivate if I flip between sticky and fixed positioning as well.

Hi ​@Micah Miller, thanks for reaching out about this and sharing the update! 
 

I understand how this must be slowing down your workflow. What you're describing (blur reactivating after adding a blurred box, or toggling sticky/fixed) lines up with a rendering bug our team has been tracking recently around background blur re-rendering. To help us confirm it's the same issue and get you the right fix, could you share:

  • A link to the actual prototype (looks like it didn't come through in your original post)
  • Which browser/OS you're viewing it in?
  • Whether it also happens in a duplicated copy of the file?

Your temporary solution (toggling sticky/fixed or adding a temporary blurred element) is solid for now. Please share the additional context above, and we’ll share it with the team while they continue to investigate.
