I agree, it makes sense, although the logic is hard to understand. The actual issue I have is related but not the same exactly: when this “empty” Frame is made into a component, it will keep its maximum size even with no displayed content.
It’s an issue when implementing component toggle properties in a component. Say your component has three possible zones: A, B and C, but B and C are wrapped in a Frame in the overall structure. You can’t create toggle properties for B and C without having their wrapper keep its maximum size (and thus the overall component not hugging only A, for instance). The only way to go is to add a fourth toggle property for the wrapper, not ideal.
