Prevent interaction hotspots from triggering below fixed elements

  1. Describe the problem your experiencing and how your idea helps solve this
    A scrollable (clickable) list of items triggers the interaction even if a fixed element overlaps it. Additionally, this bug occurs even if that overlaping element has a “Tap → None”

  2. Add as much context as possible (screenshots, Figma files, mockups, etc.)
    Stumbled upon this issue when I had to position an iOS keyboard on top of an interactive list of elements.

Demo file and steps to reproduce:

  1. Start the prototype from https://www.figma.com/file/GpbLNhQGrYKCTFO8aZy8BK/Hotspot-bug
  2. Click the gray bottom rectangle with or without scrolling
  3. It wrongly triggers the hotspot from the “background” items

    Hey All, thank you for your continued feedback! 

    The team confirmed that this is not a bug; it’s currently expected behavior. This was a design decision to ensure that frames without interactions do not block interactions. All of your existing prototypes with interactions actually rely on this behavior to function, so implementing what you would consider a “fix” would likely cause other major prototyping bugs. 

    Rest-assured, this is still being tracked as a feature request by the prototyping team to better understand how it is affecting the overall community. They’re now considering how to implement this in the best way that doesn’t cause other bugs. 

     

    We appreciate your patience and understanding.

    Do we have any fix for this? This issue is so annoying, I miss Adobe XD for simple things.

    This is a smart workaround, but this definitely shouldn’t have to be done just to have a fixed menu… And it doesn’t work if you want to have transparency in your menu.

    Still looking for a fix to this too. Not sure how this hasn’t been patched yet.

      Figma Workaround.
      I have never heard this term associated with any other program as often as Figma.
      Figma should produce their own “workaround encyclopedia”
      Maybe title it “We are sorry to have wasted your time” but this is how you fix what doesnt work as it supposed to.
