Question

Vertical scroll in prototype causing extreme pixelation and visual glitch

I have a simple app prototype with content that overflows from the main frame of the home screen, and uses vertical scrolling for the overflow. However whenever I preview the prototype, it renders the home screen with extreme pixelation: turning the entire detailed UI into 3-4 giant pixels. 

I’ve read through other articles and can’t seem to figure out what’s going on. The frames seem set up right, no accidental zoom, sub pixels or rotation. This screen seemed to work fine a few days ago.

This also happened to my previews recently (which worked normally 2 weeks ago with no change)

After some trial and error, the exact extreme pixelation happens whenever my prototype settings has the height bigger than the frame.
Or when I switch on overflow for scroll behavior (horizontal/vertical/both)

I tested many stuffs and it has nothing do to with my contents/components/auto layouts/properties/etc inside the frame, as long as that frame is equal to or smaller than the prototype height.

When I adjusted the height of the the prototype to be taller than the problematic frames, the issue is gone. But it returns whenever a frame is taller than the height of the prototype.

Hope this helps to solve the bug quicker, thanks!
