Stop frames from moving around

you did it, thanks

I 100% want this. Frames + Sections (that contain working frames on them)… it’s a shambles. My stuff moves everywhere all the time when I’m trying to work in designs.

Here’s what I do. Instead of taking a background screenshot (or a “body” container that fills the frame) for instance, and turning it into a frame, you create the frame separate, put a background screenshot or the body container and make it fill the frame and then lock it (the background image / body container). Now you can drop things into the frame by first clicking on the frame title, but now they technicaly sit on top of the screenshot or background container, which is locked, and enables you to move the objects around in the frame without moving the frame around. If you want to move the frame, then you have to click on the title of the frame.

This is such a spoiler for intuitive use. Figma needs to make it default behavior where the frame is always stationary. How could intended use be to move it all the time? This makes me wonder if the Figma team actually uses their product on a regular basis. Also how could Figma ignore this clear want from users. Not having this be default behavior feels like a bug, feels unintended.

I’m going crazy as well. We need to fix this asap. Thank you.

Awesome. Easy and very helpful trick…

Need a function for locking frame position and prevent it from moving when trying to select multiple elements inside of the frame 🙏

Hey All, thanks for the feedback and apologies for the lack of acknowledgement here!

We’ll pass this onto our team for future consideration.

This is such basic functionality, I cannot believe this hasn’t been addressed…

Hold ctrl before selecting multiple elements with mouse
