Figma should better communicate breaking changes.
Scenario: You correctly created a button component that uses Inner shadow Spread instead of Stroke. Somewhere in the design process, however, the border disappeared.
As can easily happen, the "Clip content" checkbox has been un-checked. It's one of many available options and could seem innocuous to a user in your organization.
Something is broken, but Figma provides no obvious indication as to "why".
Currently, you need to know 1) what affects the Inner shadow display output, and 2) where to go to fix this issue.
I mocked up one way to easily fix this problem. When an Effect is nullified by unchecking "Clip content", an alert is shown that contextualizes the issue.
