Auto layout adding padding 😟

[Bill_Tribble]

When I add auto-layout, sometimes it adds 8px padding around the objects. This is annoying, how do I stop it happening?

Not possible at the moment. Vote for this: Define default padding for Auto Layout (or set to 0)

And see this:

Define default padding for Auto Layout (or set to 0)

This is far from ideal, but I usually work around this issue by first wrapping the object in a frame, then adding Auto Layout. Two shortcuts: Alt + Cmd/Ctrl + G, Shift + A.

Whaddup, thanks Gleb. Confused, Figma usually get stuff like this right!
