Tried a new Figma plugin for auto-layout and it totally broke my spacing

I was working on a dashboard design and used 'Autoflow' to quickly stack some cards, but it set all the gaps to 0px and squished everything together. Honestly, I had to undo and manually fix like 20 frames. Has anyone else had a plugin do more harm than good, and what's a safer one for layout stuff?

Ugh, that sounds so frustrating. Plugins can be a total gamble sometimes, right? Makes you wonder if the time you save is even worth the cleanup.

But they can also be a total lifesaver when they work right.

Seriously though. When a plugin actually does what it says, it's magic. Like that one time a simple SEO tool fixed my whole site's tags in two clicks. But then you get the other kind that just breaks your whole layout. Makes you scared to even try new ones anymore.
