Potential bug flipping constraints randomly

Hi,

So as the title states, some of my frames, groups, object etc… has constraints flipped.

For instance, (just as an example) a simple rectangle nested in a parent frame with left and top constraints is showing the blue lines for left and bottom - and acts accordingly on resizing.

A simply thought would be that the main frame is flipped 180 degree; however, that is not the case.

Two current ways fix this, for the items with the issues I click left and bottom and they now follow the rules for them to act left and top - although other items in the same parent item do not have the issue, thus confusingly have correct left and top constraints.

Or, I remove the nested rectangle into a new fame, and voila, the issue acts no more. However, this is a pain for complex components, because the issue isn’t just hitting main frames, but has randomly hit inner nested items - so a circle in a box could be flipped, then the box itself could be fine, then that frame that sits in could be wrong. Very odd.

And again, a note to end, this isn’t due to rotated frames as the degrees are showing 0.

Any thoughts? I have 100’s of components and complex screens with multiple variants and deep nesting, and I cant go through recreating everything item which the bug has hit.

Is there a way to manually force an override to reset constraints? perhaps in the console?

Have to add that this issue is still not fixed.

I think it is still not fixed

Hey All, thanks for following up on this issue!

It doesn’t look like it was ever officially investigated as a bug by our team. The forums are primarily run by the community here.

As mentioned as a workaround in the original topic, this might be due to the Frame the object is within being rotated. Be sure to double check that the Frame that the object is within and see what the Rotation setting is as the 1st step.
