Prototyping issues after last update

As usual there's some nice Adobe surprise gifts after each update, this time they blessed us with new problems in the prototype section:

- All my connectors / links in my prototypes are deleted.
- Prototypes play but with no connectors.
- Some of my art boards in prototypes are now with black background when played.
- Overlay feature doesn't work anymore. Total mess.

Swell! Just what I needed two minutes before a presentation. If I try to repair my prototypes and re-connect them the overlay effect doesn't work. When I move the overlay it includes the artboard that is placed before it and a whole lot of mysterious stuff is happening, to put it short the new and so called "improved" prototyping in XD is totally messed up after last release. Could you please test before release? And do include Windows. You know the operating system from Microsoft that you claim to support.

    Hi there,

    We're sorry for the frustration. We understand how you feel. I would suggest submitting your feedback here: ANNOYING BUG: Prototype wires not showing when selecting artboards – Adobe XD Feedback : Feature Requests & Bugs for prototype link not visible.

    Please upvote this feature request for black background color here: Background color on fullscreen prototype should be the same color as artboard color – Adobe XD Feedback : Feature Reques…

    I would request you if you can elaborate the issue with overlay feature in XD so that we can try to reproduce the same.

    Please let us know if you've any issue with this. We'd be happy to help.

    Thanks,

    Harshika

    Jisses christ, they did this on purpose?! I'm stunned. Absolutely stunned. I can't believe it. They removed all the prototype links and every visual cue in prototype mode on PURPOSE!?? So there's no way of actually telling how the prototype is wired??? Wow. WOW!

    Good luck.

    Hi Jan,

    Sorry for the inconvenience. As a workaround, you can select the entire artboard to see the prototype wires. Please see the GIF file attached below:

    Please let us know if that works for you. We'd be happy to help.

    Thanks,

    Harshika
