Nested components inside a slot reset to their default state after an interaction

Hi! I’m experiencing an issue with nested components placed inside a component slot.

After triggering an interaction, some of the nested components visually reset to the default state defined in the design system. However, when I hover over them, they immediately return to the correct state they were supposed to display.

In the attached video, the chips inside the drawer are configured with different labels and states. After closing and reopening the drawer, some of them appear with their default properties. As soon as I move the cursor over each chip, the correct label and state are restored.

This appears to be a rendering issue, since the overrides are not actually lost and return without any additional interaction besides hovering.

I’ve attached a screen recording showing the behavior. Has anyone experienced something similar or found a workaround?

Hey ​@Giovana Santos , Celine from the Community Support team at Figma here. Thanks for the detailed write-up and the screen recording!

Since the overrides appear to come back correctly after hovering, this does sound more like a rendering issue than the overrides actually being lost.

A few things worth trying in the meantime:

  • Refresh the file or restart the Figma desktop app/browser to see if the behavior persists.
  • Test in both the desktop app and a supported browser to check whether the issue is environment-specific.
  • Duplicate the file and see if the same behavior occurs in the copy.
  • Check whether "Reset component state" is enabled. This setting can cause nested instances to snap back on certain interactions, so it's worth ruling that out first.
  • Check whether the issue happens with all nested components inside slots or only this particular component.

If you're still seeing the issue after trying the above, we'd like to take a closer look. Please submit a bug report through the Support Hub:

Support Hub → Type "Report a bug" → Select Contact an agent → Click Start a chat and follow the prompts.

When submitting the report, please include:

  • The URL of the affected file.
  • Grant ‘Can View’ access for support-share@figma.com.
  • The screen recording you've already captured.
  • Whether this occurs in the browser, desktop app, or both (and which browser, if applicable).
  • Your operating system and Figma app/browser version.

That will help our team reproduce the behavior, review the component setup, and investigate further. Thanks again for taking the time to report it!
