Buggy positioning behaviour, after using frame.add() in Web SDK v2

Hi there,

I’m currently  trying  to migrate the Field plugin to Web SDK v2 and having trouble to position Sticky Notes in a Frame once I have added the Sticky Note as a Child using the frame->add() method.

I have created a simple example on a freshly created Board to demonstrate the unexpected behavior. I recorded a little loom video. Please have a look at what I am doing in the web developer toolbar. It’s wired, that the Sticky Note is displayed outside the frame. I would love to get some help here: What am I missing? Team Miro - can someone please point me to a working example, where a Sticky Note is first added to a frame, and then positioned inside the frame?
Thanks in advance!

 I’d better add what I have done to demonstrate the behavior (visible at 2:40 in the video).

// in web developer toolbar

// manually create a frame, select the frame
ff = (await miro.board.getSelection())[0];

// position the frame at the origin of the board
ff.x=0; ff.y=0; ff.sync();

// manually create a sticky note outside of the frame, select the sticky note
sn = (await miro.board.getSelection())[0]
sn.parentId; // is null

// position the sticky note at the origin of the board
sn.x=0; sn.y=0; sn.sync();

// => visisble on top of the frame

// add sticky not as child to frame
ff.add(sn);
ff.sync();

// => now coordinates should be relative to top left of the frame?
// try to move sticky note
sn.x = 100; sn.y = 0; sn.sync();

// => weired position outside of frame

Hi @Michael Schieben,

Thank you very much for raising this and for sharing the detailed video/snippet. Indeed, this is not the intended behavior when working with relative coordinates of a child item within a parent. 

As it turns out, if you refresh the page after you update the position of the child item, you will likely see it in the expected position.

I’ve raised this as a bug with our Web SDK team, and we’re working on a solution.

I’ll follow up here as soon as this is fixed. Thanks again!
Will

Hi @Michael Schieben,

Our team released a fix today that we believe should resolve this issue. Can you let me know if you’re still seeing this issue?

Thanks!
