Auto layout is the most used layout feature in Figma and the one where small differences (a
hugging frame one pixel off, text wrapping at another width) break real files. **Breadth ~98%,

|---|---|---|
| 2026-11-02 | patch | M2, #1824: fill container children share the free space by their content area: each one's own insets (padding and an included inside stroke, from the same `insets` the frame uses) come off the free space before the equal split and go back on its share, so a child with more padding or a thicker inside stroke takes a little more and the content areas match ("Figma distributes space amongst fill container children by the children's content area instead of by their size, matching the CSS border-box model", Use auto layout with CSS Flexbox in mind). Min and max still clamp the outer sizes and the frozen-share loop is as it was; children without insets split as before. Test: `nested_tests::fill_children_share_by_content_area` |
| 2026-11-02 | patch | M2, #1838: a double-click on an edge of an auto layout frame's bounding box sets Hug contents on that axis, Alt+double-click on an edge of a child's Fill container ("Double-click the vertical or horizontal edge of an auto layout object's bounding box to set it to Hug contents", "Hold ⌥ Option or Alt and double-click ... to set it to Fill container", Guide to auto layout); a vertical edge sizes the width, a horizontal one the height; the Keyboard shortcuts panel lists both gestures.

| 2026-11-02 | patch | M2: a child of an auto layout frame resized to the full space available to it on an axis (the frame's size less its padding: across the flow for any child, along the flow for a lone child) becomes Fill container on that axis, whether by `transform.resize`, the W/H fields or a canvas handle ("Child objects of an auto layout frame will also be set to Fill container if they are manually resized to the full available space of the parent frame", Guide to auto layout). Any other size keeps the axis Fixed as before; beside siblings along the flow, in a hugging or wrapping frame, in a grid and for a layer that ignores the layout nothing changes. Test: `al_behaviour_tests::a_child_resized_to_the_full_available_space_becomes_fill` |
| 2026-11-01 | patch | M2: a text layer keeps a max height or a number of max lines, not both ("Text layers cannot have both a max height and a set number of max lines", Guide to auto layout): `node.set {maxHeight}` on a text sets its max lines to Auto, and `node.set {maxLines}` or `text.maxLines` with a number removes its max height.
