Hey all, thanks for the reports on this!

The team just pushed a fix, so please give your tab a quick refresh and the search popover should no longer pop up when a variable is already bound (until that behaviour is re-enabled/debugged). Thank you again for flagging it!

Hey, I just spent an hour to understand why I had this interface.
It seems to be a new feature, so if you click on the text to swap, figma is letting you write the variable name. If you want the “classique’ selection menu, you have to click on the square that preview the color.

The new feature allows direct variable name editing by clicking the text. For the classic selection menu, click the color preview square instead.

Please make the popover behaviour on the Fill same as Selection colors, which is on the side not on the top/bottom.
