Just fix slots! 

The slot feature doesn’t behave properly when switching variants: around 90–100% of the content from the other variant simply disappears.

Hi ​@Milorad

 

I understand you're experiencing issues with slots when switching between variants - content disappearing from other variants.

 

We'd love to know more about your component setup details:

  • Does the main component itself have variants?
  • Do the default contents within the slots have variants?
  • Are you seeing any error messages?

If possible, could you please share a screenshot or screen recording of the issue? This would help us understand exactly what's happening.

 

Thanks!

I’m also experiencing buggy behavior with slots since the beta launch. Unfortunately, it’s impacting my organization, especially our developers who need to reference production-ready screens. I put full trust in slots early on and adopted them both within my org and personally by recreating a multitude of components in my working files.

 

I’m hoping to help quantify the issues. I can’t share screen recordings publicly, but I’m happy to provide them privately if that’s helpful. It’s disappointing because I see this as a foundational feature going forward, and I’d really like to continue using it heavily if we can get it behaving reliably.

 

Here’s what I can share at a high level, though I know it’s not as helpful as a walkthrough:

 

Components containing slots are shifting within container frames sporadically and, at times, components inside the slot disappear. On top of that, rendering appears inconsistent between users. I may see something broken while a colleague sees it correctly at the same time, and vice versa.

 

It seems to primarily affect components that contain slots, but the impact is not limited to the slotted content. The entire component becomes unstable. One odd temporary fix is that clicking once on the duplicated component, without making any changes, will sometimes cause it to correct itself. This fix is very short-lived and the issue returns unpredictably.
 

Happy to provide more detail if helpful, but I’d strongly encourage prioritizing this if possible. My suspicion is that others are experiencing this as well, especially those adopting slots early, but may assume it’s user error due to the inconsistent behavior.

Thanks!

Hi ​@Nathaniel Cruz
  
I really appreciate you taking the time to report these issues and your willingness to help investigate them with us!
  
The behavior related to Slots you're describing, such as the issues below, sounds like something our team needs to look into more closely:

  • Components containing slots are shifting within container frames sporadically  
  • Components inside the slot disappear  
  • Rendering appears inconsistent between users  

I've gone ahead and created a support ticket(#1817079) on your behalf so you can share more details about what you are experiencing (e.g., file URLs and screen recordings) privately with our team by replying to the ticket email.  

This will allow our specialists to take a closer look at the specific issues you're experiencing and investigate more efficiently.


Thanks,
