If someone can link me or explain to me please :upside_down_face:

I am confused because I working on tabs components and when I want bring my tab in front (menu/Object/Bring to Front) send my Tab’s layer all the way down to down like:

layers in group before bring to front:

Tabs (its first on top, but then tabs is not in visually in front of body, so body overlay Tabs)
Body

after bring to front
Body
Tabs (tabs is below Body)

lol
I am really confused

it’s confusing why “bring to front” send my layer on bottom in Figma?

As I said I use all my life Illustrator and form my perspective that means when I choose “bring to front” this object go to top visually (overlay all others ) and also will be on top of all layers inside that group.

Why Figma do opposite? What I’m doing wrong and how change that? lol

Cheers

Hey @Vladimir_Marinovic_Martini,
Thanks for giving details of your issue! Can you please clarify what do you mean by “tab” , you mean any assets such as frame, component etc?
Here a quick video recording I bring to the front two assets (the first blue square is a frame, and the red square is a component).

Can you share a quick screen recording of what’s happened on your end? I can try to replicate the issue to check what’s causing this. :slightly_smiling_face:
