Disable auto-nesting/auto-reparenting while moving objects

I’d also like to request a feature to disable the auto-nesting/reparenting when moving objects. It’s a bit frustrating when objects get nested in every frame/group they pass over. Could we have a toggle or a keyboard shortcut for more control, similar to how Adobe Illustrator handles object movement? This would greatly streamline my workflow.

Yes, coming from XD (like many) this auto-nesting behavior is terrible. Especially because the holding of the spacebar doesnt work reliable.

I’m fighting with the interface every time I try to just quickly move an icon in a group and then suddenly having it auto-inserting into an underlaying group.

Hey All, thanks for the feedback and apologies for the late acknowledgement!

We’ll pass this onto our team for future consideration.

This stupid annoying problem hasn’t been solved yet? What are you doing Figma team

Three years is more than ‘late acknowledgement’

What @Neff said. Please fix this.

Fix this please.

Yes, totally agree with all of this. There should be a checkbox on every frame to disable this functionality by default.

Also the current spacebar functionality should be reversed to where holding spacebar and dragging means that you want to nest the object. Otherwise dragging and dropping should not nest.
 

1000% cosign. This has been my biggest peeve with Figma from day one.

Holding spacebar doesn’t seems to work on my end. This feature is really annoying :(

please fix this!! +1

this is so annoying tbh. It’s useful in 1/10 use cases. Def should be an opt in than default.
