Enabling auto layout turns group into a frame

  1. Create a group
  2. Add autolayout to that group
  3. Voilá! That group is now a Frame.

There is no way this is not a bug so I reported it as such.

Hi ​@AdrianCuad,

 

I understand that when you add Auto Layout to a group, it turns into a frame.

I checked internally, and it seems this is expected behavior. Applying Auto Layout causes the object to be recognized as a frame.

As this guide mentions, Auto Layout is only supported on frames. : Toggle auto layout on designs

 

Thanks,
