SOLVED - Preserve Scroll Position (please roll back the feature)

Hey, i face a bug since there has been an update on the preserve scroll position behavior yesterday. By now the former preserve scroll position, which i had to set manually before is now set as default. So i don’t need to tick the box anymore.

But, in my protoype, although i expect now that the scroll position is preserved by default, it is not working correctly. From screen to screen my prototype is jumping to the top. I need to ship my proto today to the client and this is super annoying.

Anyone faces the same issue since yesterday? @Figma_Support can you roll back the feature? 🙏

So? @Figma_Support when are you rolling this back?? People’s jobs are literally depending on it. I have clients to present to and I look like an unprofessional idiot due to YOUR bug! Fix this already!!

Seriously! I’ve had to change my whole workflow. Naming frames the same doesn’t work and is impossible to use when you have many frames to prototype! @Figma_Support roll back to ‘preserve scroll position’ checkbox ASAP please. Your product is unusable

It is horrible ! 🙃
Just make it simple please “keep scroll position” (default checked) that I can disable if I need.

I don’t recall matching layer names ever being a requirement before when the option to 'Preserve scroll position" was offered in the interaction settings. There’s no date on that help article you linked to, so no way to know if this is new behaviour

Is it possible to rollback the ‘preserve scrool position’ please?
Your new version is terrible…

Generally Figma’s new features have worked well… but this has bombed. It doesn’t work… why opt-out of describing what the user wants to do by unchecking a box then describing the opposite? Boggles the mind.

If you are making such a drastic change to something quite a fundermental – you need to make sure it works first!

I’ll keep an eye out for the next bug fix!

Agreed! Please roll back the feature. It’s super annoying that I can’t preserve the position of my prototype.

Yep, no matter what I try ( name / subname ) etc. a reset is happening. Figma needs to sort this out.

Same here. It doesn’t work at all.
