This is a “normal” behavior of figma that makes no sense. It happens when a parent container that has scroll contains child items with shadow effects applied to them.
Steps to reproduce:
- In design mode (img 1) I created an auto layout that is 24px in X coordinate. It stretches until the end of the device frame, has scroll set to horizontal and contains 3 squares with 36px blur shadows. Horizontal position and autolayout alignment is set to the left.
- In prototype mode (img 2), the start position is the same as the design mode.
- Unfortunately, if I scroll to the end and back again, the child containers are now 36px further from the left edge.
Final consideration:
Yes, I'm aware that I can apply the shadow to the parent container, but that's a workaround and not a fix - Its not everytime that I can do that, since this problem also happens when the whole frame is set to overflow.
