Linked Components change position, when an element inside is hidden

Report · Feb 19, 2021

Hello,

We started developing a design system to be used throughout our clients products. Instead of having different components for component with a label and then the same without a label, we decided to have a single component and then hide the label, when we don't need it.

So far, so good, but then we started seeing components shifting positions inside the documents that use the system. The most weird thing is not all instances of the component with the hidden label shift their positions.

This usually happens after update to the component - simple change of color, making the font a bit bigger, saving and sharing the file. It is really a pain to go through all of the screens and fix the issue manually, so I am asking for help. Is this a bug or there is a workaround it?

Any help will be much appreciated,
Hristo

Hi Hristo,

Apologize for the delay in response. Are you still experiencing the issue with XD 37.1 version? If so, could you please share a short video of your workflow for better understanding? Please share the OS and XD versions of your machine. Does that happen with all the files and components or with a specific file? Please try creating a new file with a new component and let us know if that helps.

We will try our best to help.

Thanks,

Harshika
