Working with Shadows in "New Components" vs. "Old Symbols" (XD19, April/May 2019 Release)

Although they're similiar requests, this here seems to 'contain' that other thread and adds a few more problems, so this should be the main request.

It's really hard to align components and resize them, the way it is right now.

One way I found to resize components without having to ungroup component and then recreate all the 'child' components, was to resize the bondaries of the component itself (green handles), messing with everything inside it, BUT, the changes propagates.

Still, completely unusable if the component have a lot of elements, like a graph, or something dense like that.

Hope to see updates soon. Thanks.

I think this is a valid component problem, and maybe give it an option to exclude shadow from component bounding should do it. A few days ago, saw the others are also complaining about this exact same situation on twitter. In my case, i cannot go any further with my design components. Reasons are basically the same with others here, I Hope this will be updated soon.

I wonder why this issue was marked as "answered", because, no real solution was provided so far. Did anyone find a workaround tutorial on this matter out there?

So the current build now seems to include shadows in the size of the component. Please give us an option to ignore shadow sizes while still being able to see them. This is how objects work in html. Why would this be any different?

None of my components snap to the grid or guides properly now. This is unusable.

Solution: Just give us a option that says "Ignore shadows" when I select a component with a shadow. Done!

This just make the component basically unusable, I have absolutely no idea at all how to change the size of the "master" component as I intend.

And when using a component with shadow, I have to measure the margin every time and some times still cannot align them correctly.

Can someone give an explanation about the benefit of having “explicit bounds”? because honestly, I see none at all.

One more note on the topic.

When you export via "Share for development" option, you can select the actual object (and that's good) but still get a bogus group where the shadow is/was:

Same problem here. I will not be able to use components for site headers if the shadows are clipped from my components. An option to show shadows outside of the bounds would be very useful. I have also had to delete components because of the sizing issues when you delete a shadow and the sizing does not adjust.

+1 here. Additionally, if you remove the shadow, the dimensions stay the same. The one on the right had the same properties, but I simply removed the shadow completely after creating the component. The box stays the same, even though I'm editing the master.
