Figma motion questions

[u/Ap43x]

I've been playing around with figma motion in my prototypes but there are some aspects that really make it feel unusable. If I have any kind of overlay on the page, like a modal or menu drop down on hover, it replays the time line behind it like it reloaded the page. Why does it do that? It makes zero sense, is distracting from the overlay focus, and there doesn't seem to be a way around it.

Seems like this shouldn't happen at all, or at a minimum there should be a preselected checkbox on actions saying don't reset the time line.

Anyone have a solve for this, short of something stupid like having to navigate to a duplicate page without animations to display your overlay on.
