So this queery relates to being able to place a component into an auto layout frame but have it sit on top of the content which turns the icon in the layers panel from just a diamond to a diamond with a dashed square around it.
I was creating a design challenge for prospective employees and during this process I came across the ability to place content within auto layout frames in an unusual way. It had been some time since I had done it and can no longer remember/recreate what I had done.
I am on Windows and it was some combination of dragging the āHome bottom functionā component + Alt or some other function key - at the time I tested with a collegue and could not recreate what I was doing on his Macbookā¦
I will leave a link to the frame that you can copy out to see what I am talking about (the component with the unusual icon is the same as above, you should be able to see how it is also sat in the auto layout frame as well.) See first screenshot top component.
I think this is a visual bug. Since itās an instance of a component with 3 variants. When you are duplicating the same instance it shows the correct instance icon.
This was a bug that our team pushed a fix for a little while back. You can remove it from your node by selecting it and running āRestore auto layout positionā from quick actions.
Iāve had the exact same āissueā (itād be great as a feature just like you said) and posted it on forums. Thanks to @Antoine for pointing this thread out to me. I now feel less alone
Looking forward to this bug becoming a feature. Using spacebar is not really enough
