Frames resizing when I open files

Hey team,

 

Every time I switch between files, I can see autolayout frames that are used as titles for my screens keep resizing to hug the text? The frame is set to a fixed width, with the text property set to fill. Not sure why this happens, but as soon as I click into the text itself, the frame resizes back to how I’d expect it?

Hi ​@Joel Reardon, Celyn from Figma Community Support here.

Thanks for flagging this - I understand that your auto layout title frames are resizing to hug the text when switching between files, even though they’re set to a fixed width, and then correcting themselves after you click into the text.

I’ve gone ahead and created a support ticket so the team can take a closer look. Your ticket number is #1901942.

When you have a moment, it would be really helpful if you could reply to the ticket with a short screen recording showing the frame before switching files, what happens after switching back, and how it resizes again when you click into the text layer. It would also help to know if this is happening in just one file or across multiple files.

Appreciate you reporting this, someone from the team will be reaching out soon.
