If I have a frame set to be fixed on scroll, I cannot select its constraints to be “Left and Right”. I have to move to the prototype tab, set it to “scroll with parent”, then set the constraints, and then move back to the prototype tab to set it back to “Fixed”
I don’t understand why fixed items cannot be set to “Left and Right”, but at least before, setting a frame to be fixed was just a checkbox above the constraints that I could quickly toggle on or off. Now, if I group frames that were set to be fixed on scroll, I have to reset the constraints, and its become a bit of convoluted process.
Thanks for taking the time to reach out about this! This is a bug that we’re already tracking, where the “fix position when scrolling” disables certain constraints.
We don’t have a timeline of when a fix will be available yet, but the best workaround in the meantime is to continue how you’ve been doing with unchecking “fix position when scrolling” first to adjust the constraints.
Keep an eye out for a future release that launches the fix.
I have been seeing this problem for quite some time so thought I should let you guys know. The constraints “Left and right” “top and bottom” and “scale” on elements don’t show up when “Fix position on scrolling” is on. This always makes me turn off the checkbox and turn the constraint on and then revert back by enabling the checkbox.
Attaching some screenshots for the same:
when checkbox is on, it does not allow using the constraints “L&R” and “Scale”
This makes it a little unintuitive and uses several clicks when it could work in just two clicks. Is there any reason it is built this way. can this be fixed?
Just bumping this topic. As a new user I was confused why it wouldn’t allow me to constrain while the “Fix position when scrolling” checkbox was enabled. It’s particularly tedious when the layer drops down and gets hidden by other layers…
Honestly Figma: this is a major bug and it is really annoying. Please fix this.
There can be no reason to block the constrains this way. No: obviously there is none, otherwise the annoying workaround (switching from “Fixed” to “Scroll with parent”, change the constrains to left and right, Top and bottom or scale and then switching the scroll behavior back to “Fixed”) would not work.
Same problem here, made worse by removing the fix-position-checkbox. prior to that at least the checkbox was next to the constraints widget, now you have to switch between the design and the prototype tab. +1 for a fix!
this hack doesn’t seem to work now that the “fix position” checkbox has been moved into the prototyping tab dropdown. I feel like i’m taking crazy pills - why can’t i just anchor these elements left and right while avoiding scroll?
.
anyone else?
