Instance Scaling Bug or Not?

I’m at a complete loss here and trying to figure out why.

I have a main component and two identically setup instances, yet only one of the instances scales accordingly to the way i wanted it to work but the other does not scale at all and I can’t figure out why. From what I can see the properties are identical so I’m completely confused. Is this a software bug or am I missing something?

I’ve attached a video for reference.

You can view and make a copy of the file here to test it yourself.

Looking forward to figuring out what the heck is going on and a solution so I can fix this issue if I run into it again.

Thanks in advance,

You already changed the size of Test Component 1, so it was overriden. Once the size of instance is changed, it will no longer inherit it from the main component. You need to reset it.

Amazing. Question, how were you able to recognize that was the issue? Is there something in Figma that tells us that? It would be great to know how to identify these issues in the future.

Thanks!

It’s probably the only reason for this kind of behavior. Even if you manually change the properties back(size, for example), the component instance will still be considered overridden until you make reset.
