interactive components only work in another designfile

Hello, I have an interesting issue.

I created an interactive component with variants. So I go to assets and insert the component into a frame. Now I go to present mode and the component is not working.

I then published the component and created a new designfile where i insert the component from the assetspanel into a frame and want to test it again. And now it works. How is that possible? It drives me nuts.

The component only works in a designfile where it was not created.

thank you very much in advance!

If the above does not not work, please try Regenerate all instances (slow)
