Smart Animate causes full-page position jump in both browser and desktop app

Hello, I'm experiencing an issue with Smart Animate in Figma prototypes. When a Smart Animate transition occurs, the entire phone-frame page visibly jumps or shifts before settling. The issue occurs in both the browser-based prototype viewer and the Figma desktop app.
Expected behaviour:
The prototype should transition smoothly between frames without the entire page shifting unexpectedly.
Actual behaviour:
-
In the browser, the entire page jumps to the right during Smart Animate transition in preview mode; and in present mode, it jumps upwards.
-
In the desktop app, the entire page jumps upwards during Smart Animate transition in preview mode; and in present mode, it jumps downwards.
-
Instant and Dissolve transitions work normally without any visible jumping.
-
The issue occurs even in a minimal test prototype containing only a rectangle where the rectangle's fill colour is the only intended design change.
Troubleshooting already performed:
-
Recreated the issue using a basic rectangle in duplicated phone frames.
-
Ensured corresponding layers have matching names and structure.
-
Tested Smart Animate in both the browser and desktop app.
-
Tested Instant and Dissolve in both environments; neither produced the jump.
-
Changed the prototype content scale to Fixed size, but the issue persisted.
-
Checked the layout and Auto Layout settings in my original design.
The issue is preventing me from creating a smooth task-completion animation for my to-do app. I would appreciate your help determining whether this is a Smart Animate bug or whether there is another configuration I should investigate.
I am using Windows 11 operating system, Google chrome Version 156.0.8078.48 (Official Build) (64-bit) and my Figma app is Version 126.10.10.0
I have attached a screen recording of the issue and here is the link to the Figma file. Thank you.
