Overlay position not honored when variant "change to" triggers

I have a component where I have built a workflow of 4 “views”, each a variant, where clicking in the right place does a “change to” to the next view. These all work fine.
prob 1, you can’t have a button in a frame target a variant to open. So I worked around this by pulling an instance of the first view out, and that gets opened as an overlay. Still good. And the whole “change to” flow still works.
Now for the problem.

I updated the initial overlay call to position “bottom right”, which is ok, but now when the “change to” triggers, instead of changing in place, it shifts the overlay to centered. I’ve tried re creating the links, restarting, etc… no change. I tried manual position of the initial overlay, and it still jumps center when “change to”.

This bug is a huge problem and limitation as I often need to create similar localized variant usage.

I’m having the same problem. It actually worked for a while as a manually positioned overlay. I could use buttons to “change to” and it would stay in place. Suddenly the change to action is repositioning it to center! I’ve tried swapping the overly, changing the auto layout to different constraints… total bug situation.

yeah, it’s a big problem that kills half of my usage of variants.
