Hover state doesn't reset

I used hover to create button hover states, but since today it no longer resets to its original state when I stop hovering. I can mimic the intended use by using mouse enter and mouse leaves, but until today hover worked.

It also doesn’t reset when you open an overlay, it’ll remain in its “hover” state forever, even when using mouse enter/mouse leaves.

And the same here 😕
When I drag the document with middle mouse button it get stuck so the drag won’t be released. And then the mouse hovering is globally broken on my MacOS, which means that the mouse cursor won’t change it’s icon when I hover things. This is very irritating.

It’s happening to me as well. Is this bug fixed yet? It happened 2 days ago so I had to find a workaround by using “Mouse enter” & “Mouse leave”.

Leaving critical bugs like this unsolved for over a year is very “Adobe”…

I too am having this issue.

I had the same issue, but closing and reopening the prototype worked. Obviously it should not even get into that state of faulty behavior, but try if restarting the prototype/Figma will fix this for you.

I’m also having this issue and found one of the previous solutions helped.

I’ve built a dropdown component with nested menu-item components which have hover states. When you open the menu, it doesn’t have hover states but when you view the open menu in isolation, the hover states all work.

Moving the interaction from hover to mouse-enter and mouse-leave allowed the hover states to work again in the parent component.

press R to restart instead is the same but faster

same here I even tried with mouse enter/leaves but still the icon in the button will get stuck at the end of animation and will never go back to the original state, even though the button is back to default.

I’m also having problems with hover interactions, for example with buttons.
Colors of nested icon components do not reset as expected and change to their original color instead of overridden colors. This occurs quite randomly.

Mouse enter and mouse leave also currently do not work as usual.
Is smart animate buggy in general? Figma, please fix this…!

@Figma_Support

A lot of people have this issue since 2021. Please prioritize this fix.
