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? 🙏

Really dig the shift to automatic scroll position retention, however naming frames the same thing is totally unsustainable.

  • Frame names are used to communicate state changes to our dev team
  • Frame names are used to search for unique states in our Figma files
  • Frame names are used to ensure exporting full flows is possible without saving over other exports.
  • Frame names are matched to labeled flow diagrams and now that’s impossible and prototypes are broken.

Please please revert to allow for differing names. Thanks!

The solution worked for me. However, this solution seems like a bug that needs to be addressed. This is not how the new state management should work.

I just noticed the vote Button is at the top of this page. Rock the VOTE! Roll Back the Feature!

Hi All,

I received a response from support, but unfortunately, it doesn’t address the issue with the frame naming convention. However, the explanation provided has given me a better understanding of how to accomplish my goals. I hope this helps some of you.

“Please make sure that the top frame’s names match? In order for top level frames to share scroll state, they need to have matching names according to [this rule]”

I’m having the same issue, it makes the prototype seem broken. Please bring back the “Preserve scroll position” feature

Why would you change even bother messing around with one of the most used features in prototyping, this is a disaster, my prototype is acting all weird… Seriously, Why?

Please change it back to how it was, Thank You!

I’m having same issue - this update broke my prototype. It also introduced a bunch of hidden variant states that I don’t want. Please help!

C’mon Figma, this has been going on too long…
