I’m having a hard time understanding what causes a stack to be converted into a symbol container or nested inside one.
To try and isolate the issue, I created a simple file with two pairs of future buttons — each made with just a rectangle and some text. I then converted both sets into stacks.
Here’s the strange part: when I create a symbol, the stack that has a shadow gets nested inside a symbol container. The one without a shadow doesn’t. Am I doing something wrong? Should the presence of a shadow make a difference?
Even more confusing — if I move the stack with a shadow to the Symbols page and create the symbol from there, it doesn’t get nested.
I’ve attached the project file and a short video demo to this post.
What am I missing here? I’m new to Sketch and just trying to understand how to create a simple button that scales properly with its text.
Thanks in advance!
