I am trying to nest one component within another in Figma, but i’m experiencing an issue where the content of the nested component isn’t visible after I moved it with absolute position. I’ve seen this method used a lot when building components and have done it myself before. Does anyone know why it’s not showing up? It is clearly nested and I can see the purple bounding box. I’ve tried moving it to the front or rearranging the layers and it still appears to be hidden. Help!

Nested Component not visible after using absolute position

Hi, I think I found where the problem was, it wasn’t a malfunction. When creating a variant with two elements: one without an absolute position, the second with an absolute position, the first one had the option ‘Clip content’ checked (in Design menu) which caused the other element to disapear. When I unchecked the ‘Clip content’ option, the element appeared.
Thanks for replying. Hope this solution will help someone else too.
