Question

Sticky navigation bar appears underneath content on Safari and mobile browsers

Hi! I’m testing a site built with the new Figma Sites feature.

 

I’ve set the top navigation bar as a sticky element and made sure it’s positioned at the very top of the layer tree. In the Layout panel, canvas stacking is set to “First on top.”

Canvas stakcking settings
It looks fine on Figma and Chrome(desktop & laptop)
On Safari and mobile browsers, the sticky navigation bar appears underneath the hero section content, even though it’s set to be the topmost layer in the design.

 

  • On Chrome (desktop & laptop): everything works as intended — the GNB stays sticky and always remains on top.

  • On Safari (desktop & laptop) and all mobile browsers (Safari & Chrome): the GNB is sticky, but appears underneath other layers and is partially or fully hidden.

 

Is there a workaround or fix for this issue?

 

Thanks in advance!

    Yesh I am still having the same issue. 
    Nav bar still not working properly it is hiding behind the other section. it is frustrating because it is the most basic expectation from any kind of website builder . 
    Do you have any timeline when it will be fixed its been a while

    Avoid overflow: hidden/auto/scroll on the direct parent of the sticky element.

     

    Remove these from the ancestors, if possible:

    • transform: translate(...), scale(...), rotate(...)

    • transform: translateZ(0) or any 3D transform

    • filter: blur(...) / backdrop-filter

    • opacity less than 1

    • mix-blend-mode, isolation: isolate

    • perspective, clip-path, etc.

    Okay I was having this issue and just managed to fix it.

    Yes the solution is within the auto layout settings but it takes a possibly non-intuitive interaction to solve it.

    If your sticky element is inside of a layout group the stacking order that needs to be changed is the layout group that the element is inside of and not the element itself.

    I assume most people use auto layout as the foundation for their page then stack things inside of it - if so the auto layout for your page is where the stacking order needs to be changed.



    This! Something so simple. Thank you Vin B!
