Stop frames from moving around

It is possible to lock frames, only to have everything in it locked… Any way to lock just the frame in place but not the content? So I can interact with the content without having to worry about constantly selecting the frame, moving it around etc…?

Adobe XD did this flawlessly, and to this day I can do designs from scratch faster in XD. This drives me crazy in Figma, and is the number one thing I hate about this platform. It constantly messes me up and I have to undo, manually select components, or zoom in.

In XD, the Frames (or Artboards) were always locked in place on the canvas, but could be moved by click dragging on the title of the artboard. The same implementation needs to be done here. You could move a Frame or Section by click dragging the title, otherwise they would remain in place.

Mind blowing this isn’t a feature. Been using Fig for years, this is my most hated experience. And no, I’m not doubling up on Frames within Frames.
