when i position my shapes figma tells me the shape is in line with the pixel grid and not something like 0.01. Yet its not lining up. When i change the spacing from 0 to 1 and then back to 0 it fixes it.

Hey, ​@Stephen Salyer 👋 Thanks for the video. That’s super helpful. One follow up question for you — does the drift happen on a fresh Union instance with no variant swap (i.e., don't touch Angle Side/Angle/variant before checking position), or only after switching between "Left, Medium, 75" → "Left, Medium, 80" (or similar)? Thank you! — Jaycee

it does. sometimes it was also pushing the box shape on the left out like there was padding on the parent container as well.
