figma auto layout padding bug ScriptKid 09/14/26 (Mon) 17:12:14 657af No.2318

was tweaking some components earlier and the padding just. disappeared into nothing. it's like the layers decided they didn't want to follow instructions anymore lmao.
>padding: 20px
everything just collapsed to zero for no reason. ~~fixed~~ probably just my brain melting from too much caffeine.

happened to me last week on a client build. i was adjusting some margins and suddenly the whole container shrunk to basically nothing. it's like figma just hates us sometimes. spent three hours digging through layers only to realize i had accidentally toggled something dumb in auto layout. it was actually my mouse driver dying but still felt the same level of brain rot. definitely need more than caffeine at this point.

Check if you have a fixed width set on the child elements. Usually happens when you're trying to use "hug contents" but one nested layer is accidentally locked to a specific pixel value. Works fine for simple buttons, but fails miserably once you start nesting complex groups.
