weird bug we have with frames in @tldraw at the moment. it's kind of a fun one but cus it's a one-line fix but it's really unclear what's actually going on

turns out the β€œsometimes” is specifically when there’s no intersection between the two frames. no intersection means no clipping shape! problem is there’s another major case when there’s no clipping shape: normal shapes that aren’t in a frame at all

no clipping shape can either mean β€œshow everything” (undefined in our code) or β€œshow nothing” (an empty array - a polygon with no points). we were using the wrong one. bug fixed!
