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? 🙏

it’s not helpful if you have a bunch of frames that should be named the same according to this solution…

This new update has caused a lot of problem with scroll position for me, no matter if I use Smart Animate or Instant. It used to work very well before the update so this really feels like a downgrade. I hope it gets fixed in some way to work better because this has been frustrating.

Same here, the “reset States” options are unchecked, but still the scroll position isn’t preserved. The prototype worked fine before the update, is there a fix for this issue yet?

Preserving scroll positions still doesn’t work for me. The frames has identical names, the “reset scroll position” option is unchekcked.

Please fix this “reset scroll position” nothing I have done works, this is killing me and prototypes and user testing look so bad.

Please fix this, it’s so annoying. I can present a prototype like this to my client and much less run user testing with these bugs.

Same issue here! I tried naming the top layers the same, but it isn’t working. Please revert back!

So glad I’m not alone here! I can’t get preserve scroll position to come back no matter what I’ve tried. Please fix this bug immediately. Very disappointing.

Ok, so I didn’t realize, you have to name the outermost frame, so not any of the frames used in auto-layout, but the frame serving as your actual artboard needs to be named the same. Very confusing. A feature like this never should’ve dropped without a tooltip in the app explaining it very clearly—cause it’s not immediately clear.
