Are scrolling areas/groups/frames in prototypes broken in the beta? How does that work now?
We are in the middle of changing them to work in a frames world. It might well be that we’ve broken something in the process, yes. cc @paulozoom
I also have a broken colour picker in v202006, just updated to (202061) but still same issue
Thanks for sharing! We’re digging into this color picker issue right now.
Using scrollable area crashes Sketch in latest beta.
Noted! We’re making some meaningful changes to prototype scrolling at the moment so expect some instability and resort to using v101 if that’s a blocker.
The drag to resize the font requires an extra click to be able to use it, which I’m assuming is a bug cause I used that all the time and this way is much slower
Hey @dale You should still be able to do this (without selecting the Inspector field first) by dragging on its label, like this:
Hey folks — another day, another beta release! A few important things to note with this latest one:
- Scrolling areas in prototypes is currently broken — you may notice a new UI for it, but it’s not hooked up to the prototype player just yet. We’re working on this right now so stick with us while we get things running how we need them to.
- You can now ⌥-drag any Symbol source to create an instance of it. You’ll also see “Insert Symbol Instance” actions in the contextual menu and command bar whenever you have a Symbol source selected.
- You can now set a custom Canvas color on a per-page basis. You’ll see the option for this in the Inspector when nothing on your page is selected (you’ll also see the option to change the document’s color profile there too). Custom canvas colors show for anyone viewing that page. Otherwise we’ll respect your general Canvas settings.
oh amazing! hadn’t noticed you can do it with character and line too, that is awesome
I’m trying to remember when we did this, but my Sketch releases mind palace is failing me. Either way, glad it’s helpful for you!

I exported an artboard and sent it over yesterday that had an issue with a section I’d built as a frame looking like it was in the “artboard” but really it was just overlapping on the canvas and not actually part of the design so there was jsut a massive gap in a section when exported. One thing I hate about using Figma and frames was how it was easy to have two frames overlap thinking they are all nested within the frame you are using as an artboard when really they are not in the same artboard, whereas with Sketch using Artboards, it was never a worry. Sketch now has this issue. Would be really cool if there could be a way of setting a frame to MasterFrame or something so it works like an artboard slightly, where any overlapping frame gets included inside rather than to have this issue where you need to cut an element and select into the frame to make sure that it is definitely inside the right artboard/frame
Top-level frames will more aggressively parent layers drawn in them even if they don’t completely fit in, precisely so you don’t end up with partly overlapping top-level frames.
Could you perhaps show the conditions that led to this?
I’ve just been working on one frame where I drew in 6 rectangles, tried to line them up, and realised they were not actually in the frame. Its pretty common, I’m having to manually cut and paste this throughout working on anything to make sure they are actaully within the frame I’m using as a device artboard. It’s not everything, but just enough to make me not trust it
I have to say we haven’t seen this internally. So if you can easily reproduce this situation where you draw rectangles in a frame and they’re not parented in the frame, please do share.
trying to make a background image scale 1:1 with the symbols no-matter what width to height ratio. The options we have are Fixed and Relative, but its like we need an auto, so we can set the width to fixed, and height to auto so that it can maintain the same aspect ratio in the images as fixed just stretches it, relative keeps it relative to the height, but I want it relative to the width.
Using a background image doesn’t have as much control though, unless there was a way of adjusting the positioning
Unfortunately at the moment our aspect ratio / proportion lock isn’t maintain when a layer resizes as a consequence of its parent being resized.
