Stop frames from moving around

Unfortunately, there is not. Feel free to edit your topic to turn it from a question to a suggestion and after that change the category to #product-ideas so other people can vote for your suggestion.

Hello, I have two projects where one frame moves when draging or trying selecting. And another one where the frame is locked, but the content can be selected and dragged. I’m trying to find what’s the feature allowing this behavior. Or I have a bug? (mind you, a helpful one)

The content probably doesn’t belong to the frame (you can’t place it inside when the frame is locked).

Does anyone recommend a workaround? I’ve been using a locked background instead but it isn’t ideal.

I too have been having a frustrating time accidentally moving the frame around when I’m just trying to move multiple items.

Please provide this feature to lock location of figma frame without locking contents of the frame. When I am doing animations, frame move around a lot and I get a jump in the animation.

Honestly, the ability to be able to stop the top level frame from moving when attempting select children needs to be made a high priority, please.

It’s beyond frustrating and really affects a designer’s efficiency. I am considering going back to Adobe products because of this frustration.

Note: I have not had this issue with all frames for some reason. It does not seem to be happening with the Web sized frames, but it does on the social ones for me.

Hi,
Yea there is a VERY workaround workaround, that is to just select frame, press enter to select all children, drag em out of the frame, work on em then just drag em back in

by drag out I mean in the layer manager by the way, then you can just lock the frame while you’re working on the elements

I think you can hold the Option Key on the keyboard and drag the mouse to select items within a Frame without having it locked. 😊
