Title is it basically. First time trying this, and out of now where this problem. Clueless what to do. Would prefer to use as described. How to fix? 

 

Image should be pretty self explanitory. When I select the group, perfect outline around just those elements. When I turn on repeate grid, extra space around it as shown below. So, no control over the repeat grid spacing.

I can reproduce it. The reason is shadow. Did you have applied a shadow to button? Please try to remove a shadow and see does it help?. I don't think that this is a bug, so you can work with it.

    Hi there,

     

    Thank you for reaching out and using Adobe XD. I am unable to reproduce the issue at my end on windows machine. Please take a look at the gif below and let me know if this is not the similar workflow that you follow.

     

     

    I have a group of elements with image and text and when I turned on the Repeat grid option it doesn't give me the spacing. Would you mind confirming if it's happening with all the files or with a specific file? What is the OS and XD version of your machine? Is it possible for you to share a short video of the workflow for better understanding?

     

    We will try our best to help. 

     

    Thanks,

    Harshika

    Using XD again, and yeah... I find my own post, again. This behavior is still the same, and it's unexpected to me. Ares answered it correctly, but... 2 years later it still confuses me. I have to visually guess now to get grid spacing I want or do the math in my head. Even more strange, the spacing is 36px, but the shadow on the button is only "blur 24" ... so, this is still totally confusing to me from a UX perspecitve.

     

    I'm attaching a new screenshot that maybe better shows what's happening. I'd guess an engineer would mark this as "performs as expected," but as a designer I clearly find it unexpected.
