Question

Text in Component keeps getting horizontally compressed very narrowly

We have a bunch of Figma components from our design system. Many of them will randomly have the text box width compressed to be very narrow, while the rest of the component looks normal. Clicking into the text box within the component resolves the issue, but they keep reverting back to the text box being like 25px wide. This only impacts the text, the rest of the component is fine.

 

I can’t upload files because of my company’s security protocol, but all of the autolayouts and nested elements are set to fill and display properly when first using these components.

 

It’s driving my team nuts, so we would love to know if there’s a fix. Thanks!
