Zero size frames now take space?

[Pavlo_Kiselov]

Used to be quite handy to use zero size frames for various purposes, but what I spotted today is that zero size frames in auto layout take 1 pixel. It breaks my designs here and there. Anyone else experience this? Any tips how to overcome this issue?

Hi

There are already a few other topics open with the same “bug”

0px objects

The ability to set the size of objects to 0px is no longer available. This worked great with auto layouts, for example, when there was a need to set absolute position. All libraries where this life hack was used are broken now Please bring this back.

0px layers now take up 1px space with Auto Layout

Previously, 0px or 0.00001px wide layers did not take up any space inside an Auto layout frame. This made it possible to hide elements for smart animate, or use only X or Y. This changed with the latest update and all elements are pushed 1px, but the parent frame does not expand to “hug” the new size, resulting in 1px offsets wherever these are used. [image]

I hope it is a bug

I would not mind to make some noise about it, some of my designs are broken now with no workaround

It is also in all the prototypes that have been sent out for testing. So our customers are presented with broken interfaces.

Also Figma team themselves displayed the use of the 0px trick on one of their videos.
I think i remember that also warned that this technique was a little tricky.

But just for taking part on recognizing it, then i wish they got an alternative for use who use this technique for multiple things instead of “fixing” it and movin on.

The fix would have been to enable ‘0’ as a regular input.
