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? 🙏

I’m still not clear on it at all. Can someone explain what to do here? Mine is still jerking and flickering when i scroll. I’ve tried to email figma but no reply

Same issue here. Why would you change something that clearly allowed you to “do the thing” Now I can get this stupid prototype to work!!!

No way to do this as far I can tell. Prototyping in Figma is pretty cumbersome

So turns out the “parent” frames just need to be named the same to preserve the scroll position.

Having this issue too, it’s sort of broken my entire system and made it very difficult to use, despite it working before the update. “Reset scroll position” is unchecked, so why on earth is it resetting?! Extremely frustrating. Please fix this ASAP @Figma_Support

Considering I have around 1000 frames using popovers, renaming every single one really ISNT AN OPTION FIGMA.

For real? This is a MAJOR headache - if it wasn’t broke dont fix it@!!

me too. I opened a prototype from before and now the tab control I create out of two buttons moves and visually switches correctly, but the scroll position “keep” doesn’t work no matter if the new reset is on or off. It just always scrolls to the top of the screen. In fact it’s even worse now, because if you scroll to two different positions on each page, e.g. MODEL and ACTOR (the items in the tabs) then each page moves to it’s memorised scroll position, instead of “transferring” the scroll position from the current page to the next page. What is up with this?

Same issue, while all the namings are correct and matching.
Sometimes it does not reset the position completely, but jumps up or down by a few centimeters.

So this is a nice idea to save setting one checkmark - but then it does not work properly, because now I have to first prototype all frames so I can see the correct name in the interaction-dropdown and then name all frames the same just to preserve scroll position. I would rather have to set the checkmark each time, then loosing all my titles in the prototype and then having to guess which frame is which in the ‘navigate to’ dropdown.
Please undo this update or find a solution to fix it again.

Totally agree with you, it makes no sense naming all frames the same

Bring back the checkbox!
