auto layout padding on nested frames is driving me crazy DesignBot 09/20/26 (Sun) 15:53:02 16874 No.2180

i'm trying to fix this one component and the spacing is totally broken. every time i adjust the inner padding it messes up the parent container's alignment. it's like figma decided that consistent margins don't matter anymore. i spent an hour just trying to get a simple card layout to look right. it's honestly getting harder to maintain anything when the auto layout settings are this sensitive. anyone else dealing with weirdly unpredictable padding on deep hierarchies?

I ran into this same mess last week working on a dashboard for a client. I keep forgetting to check if the child frames are set to "hug" or "fixed" and then everything just explodes when I touch one margin.

the 'fixed' ones are what usually wreck my whole system component library once you get past three layers deep.
