[Design]-Adding new state to a component changes size and position of embedded components in XD.
As written above. I got stuck in different kind of (really annoying and time consuming) trouble with multiple embedded components (that derive from a master document).
#1
When resetting components in the client document, XD duplicates layers although the master component did only contain the layers once.
#2
When adding *just a component state* in the client document to a component that contains a couple of instances from components of the master file (which I expected to be a copy of the default state) XD resizes components in an absolute weird way. Things are minimized in width and also duplicated (as written in #1)
#3
Having defined a component in the master document and trying to copy it into a layout document moves elements within the component when it is pasted.
As I have to do some real complex forms it is absolutely painful to rearrange dozens and dozens of things just to realize that XD crumbles them from time to time without any warning. To be honest: it’s nearly impossible to work efficiently with XD this way and esp. nested components and states are so buggy that they are quite useless so far. I think I have wasted more time with repairing errors I couldn't reproduce or even understand than these features could have helped me saving time.
It seems that it just too early to build up a complex design system with XD. If you can’t rely on basic things as positioning etc. problems could grow so big in the end that I don’t even think about more complex things as collaboration with others.
