Hello, I found out that if i create an interactive component (ex: Button), and place it inside a a main component (obsiously as an instance), the interactions are no longer working.
But if you create an instance of the parent component, then it all works as expected.

Components, variants and instances

I’m having similar yet different issues. In any case, all are caused by nesting interactive components.
How come there’s no official answer or solution to this? It’s incredibly frustrating to work for hours on something only to find out that it’ll never work due to bugs. It’s also annoying that this forum tells me that this issue is resolved when it’s not…

I have the same problem. So I tried something.
My case: a nav bar, with links to sections, each section icon is highlighted. Creating a variant for the nav bar breaks and linked interactions, within the component.
Instead of clicking the + button, I did a duplicate.
That duplicate becomes a variant and preserves linked interactions.

It still needs fixing please Figma.
