I typically build everything within a frame. it’s the most useful element to quickly get things going. I was building a layout that included parallax sections of a page. Each section has interactive elements. I quickly realized that one section that is underneath another section is still interacting with the cursor. Areas of the page that appear to have no interactive elements are working as if they were visible to the view. This is true for even elements that only have simple hover states. If an interactive element is overlaid by another frame or component all of the interactivity of the covered elements should be turned off or disabled until they are visible again. This is how developed experience work, this is how Figma should work. If not this is a major functional flaw with Figma. This is an issue that I have notice for some time (years) and it is still an issue. When is this going to be addressed. This issue wreaks havoc with prototypes for testing and experience demos. This makes Designers look bad, as if we don’t know what we are doing when we have to say “It’s a known bug with Figma.”
Thanks for the detailed feedback! I’ll pass this on to our internal team. Thanks - toku
