Unexpected Auto-Repositioning of Locked Layers in Slides

I am experiencing a persistent issue in Figma when creating slides: elements (images and text) automatically jump to the top-left corner of the canvas, even though they were previously positioned correctly.

This happens unpredictably across multiple frames and projects.

Key points:

  • The issue occurs even when the layers are locked.

  • The repositioning happens without any interaction from me.

  • I’m not using Auto Layout or constraints that would intentionally move the elements.

  • This behavior forces repeated manual repositioning and significantly interrupts the workflow.

This issue does not happen in other slide-creation tools (e.g., PowerPoint, Keynote), and it feels like an unexpected rendering or frame-reset bug within Figma.

Would appreciate investigation into what could cause locked layers to auto-reposition.
