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? 🙏

    Why is there silence from @Figma_Support about it? This is a big issue. I have to use another tool.

      I have the same issue and it is a big problem. When can this get fixed or rolled back?

        I created frame in middle of page frame, and added hover state.
        Now when test in prototype it simple throws me on top on new frame…

        Earlier was there ‘preserve scroll location’ now it’s missing. There is something new ‘Reset scroll position’ which is turned off. That means preserve is default. But it’s not working …

            Answer from @Helge_Wadewitz works for me. All frames where you want scroll position to be preserved must be named the same. Seems like much the same way that layers must be named identical for smart animate to work.

            Regardless, its frustrating not being able to name frames with different names. @Figma_Support please fix this.

                I’m seeing the same issue with hover states and am missing the option to “preserve scroll position.”

                I have hover interaction low on my page and now in prototype, when I hover over that instance, it brings me to the top of the page. If I “roll-off” the area that the hover is connected to, it will bring me back to the original position of the non-hover state.

                If I check “reset scroll position”, it makes it so there is no “roll-off” motion—it keeps me at the top of the screen with the hover state design activated (though you have to scroll to see it).

                  I was about to complain along with the original post, but as you mentioned adding the “name / subname” seems to work. Still, not intuitive at all. I can’t understand why complicate stuff that was already working for years.

                  Thanks!

                    Also missing this function when I want to “perserve the scroll location” when I jump between two wireframes. Worked before but since Reset scroll position and Reset componentstyle is the new option, I can’t find a way to get it working as before 😦
