I’ve been building a few more complex layouts with nested Auto Layout frames, and I’ve noticed that things can become a little unpredictable when fixed-width elements are combined with Fill Container and Hug Contents. A small change to one element can sometimes cause several other layers to resize or shift in ways that aren’t immediately obvious.What makes it more confusing is that the same layout can behave differently depending on how deeply the frames are nested. I understand that Auto Layout has a specific sizing logic, but when working with a larger component, it can take quite a bit of trial and error to figure out which setting is actually causing the issue.I’m wondering how other designers usually structure complex Auto Layout components to keep the sizing predictable. Do you try to avoid mixing fixed and flexible sizing where possible, or is there a better approach for handling these kinds of layouts?

Why is this happening? For days now, I’ve been having the same problem — the shader isn’t working and isn’t rendering on the canvas. I hope I can get some insight or guidance from the Figma team on how to resolve this issue. Thank you. 

I’ve been working on a project with a fairly large design system, and I’ve started noticing that Figma becomes noticeably slower when switching between pages, opening component properties, or searching through assets. The file itself isn’t extremely complex, but once there are hundreds of components, variants, and styles, the overall workflow starts to feel less responsive.I’ve tried reducing unnecessary layers and organizing components into separate pages, but I’m still seeing occasional lag. I’m curious whether this is mainly related to the number of components/variants in a file, or if there are other factors that affect Figma’s performance.For those working with large design systems, what have you found makes the biggest difference in keeping Figma responsive?

Hello Figma Support Team,I hope you are doing well.I would like to kindly request access to Figma Agent for my account. As a product designer, I am interested in using this feature to support and improve my design workflow.Could you please confirm whether Figma Agent is currently available for my account, workspace, region, and subscription plan? If access requires any eligibility criteria, waitlist enrollment, or additional steps, I would appreciate your guidance.Thank you for your time and support.Kind regards,Mohammad Talebi

Sanity check before I submit this as a bug or feature request:Is there an easy, non-destructive way to make Figma show drop shadows on the inside of a closed path, like a circle?I don’t want to use Outline Stroke since that’s destructive. I’m trying to keep it as a normal editable circle and have it behave like it does in apps like Sketch or Affinity Designer, where a drop shadow on a stroke renders on both sides of the path.Same editable circle, inside stroke, and drop shadow setup. Figma doesn’t render the shadow inside the closed path, while Sketch creates the expected inner-shadow effect without outlining the stroke. 

Hi all! I’m trying to create an image in Weave: a flip phone lying in snow, with my company's logo displayed on the phone's screen. I have a reference photo of the composition of the shot and my png logo. When I use those as inputs to the image generate node (I’m using Flux 2 Pro), it re-draws my logo and messes it up in various ways (wrong spacing, font, all kinds of extrapolations). I don’t want to use a Compositor to insert the logo because 1) the phone is tilted on an angle and it looks obvious that the logo is just slapped on top and 2) I want it to have a glowy/glitchy effect like it’s actually being shown on the flip phone.  Any advice on a good workflow to seamlessly work the logo into the scene while preserving its shape for brand consistency? Or are there any image generator models within Weave that you’ve had success interpreting it?

Hi Figma,I've been using Figma Motion and have encountered a bug with GIF handling during export. When a motion composition contains multiple GIFs, exporting to MP4 renders only one of the GIFs—the others are missing from the final output. I've attached an example showing both the original design file and a screenshot of the the resulting export to illustrate the issue. Is there a limit to the number of GIFs that can be included in a motion composition? Thanks!  

I have a component for a quote box with two variables (large and small). The quote text box has a text property applied (so that if I change the copy, it stays the same when I switch between variants). I did have the text in the large one set to a larger text style than the small one. But now, when I try to edit the text, it changes the text styles in both versions to match. I want to be able to have the text that is in them linked, but not the text style.This has been an issue since the latest update.

I don’t think the paid features are worth it for me, and want to request a refund. Haven’t received a response from support. I don’t want to run out of the refund window, given I just upgraded hours ago and do not like the experience.

'enable local MPC server'  opened a pop up saying I was on a Starter plan.  I followed the link and bought a Professional Full Seat but the same pop up come up when I try 'enable local MPC server' 

Since Friday 16th of July the way I copy paste interactions is not working anymore. I normally would left-click on my noodle and press Ctrl+C and paste it into another object with Ctrl+V. The behavior is erratic, but mostly the whole object gets pasted onto the Frame instead of the interaction. I have already cleared Desktop Cache tried it in new files tried with other accounts tried on another PCIt’s really annoying for complex prototypes with lots of if/else interactions. 

Hello I’m trying to import my Figma make work to VS code and I looked at several tutorial videos and they don’t seem to be much help. If anyone knows how to do it please send make a video of it, I learn better that way.

It worked completely fine before last release. It’s disrupting my workflow tremendously. Is that expected? or is it a bug?

Hi there, I’m troubleshooting building a suite of evergreen ad campaign assets in Buzz. The only things that should ever need to change are the copy for my offer and the brand logo featured.As I poured over the assets from a prebuilt library, I’m noticing that some of the title copy (that will never need to be edited) has differentiated itself in the bulk edit spreadsheet, in spite of being identical to its siblings.  The right-hand column “flash offer” randoms should be living in the column to the left.It doesn’t look like there’s a way for me to brute-force this by pasting them into the proper column. What could I have done wrong to make them separate like this, and how can I avoid it as I try to build this suite for my team? There are quite a few assets with this issue and I’d like to fix it entirely rather than just hide both columns. TIA

Hi, when I create a “candlestick” component, I am not able to edit the candle's "wicks" or candle’s “body” of the instances, which is an issue for me.Because I need each candlestick to be different in terms of body size and wick size.I would love to hear your feedbacks. I've attached a video to this post that illustrates the problem I'm having.Best regards.

I have a button (Component A) that uses variables in a nested component (Component B).Padding and Min-height in the nested component are variables, because we have more than one brand and they use different paddings and button heights The button has 36 variants; 3 Types (Primary, Secondary, Tertiary), 4 States (default/hover/pressed/disabled) e 3 surfaces (default/inverse/brand).Issue: When I change the Variant of the Nested Component, it completely ignores the variables used in the variant: This only happens when it’s a nested component. Otherwise it works as expected.I really don’t want to add variants for every size (XXL, XL, LG, MD, XS & XXS) , because that would be 216 variants to keep track of, instead of 36.

Hello Community,Today I encountered this bug in two completely different libraries that are not linked in any way and share nothing with each other; each has its own variables and components. I also asked two coworkers to test the scenario to see if they encountered the same bug in both libraries, and the result was the same, even though they were using different computers and operating systems. So it seems the bug is real, and I'm only noticing it today; it wasn't happening a few days ago.The bug is this: I have four breakpoints as variables in my UI Kit:Desktop: 1920pxWide Tablet: 1260pxTablet: 768pxMobile: 375pxHere's where it happens:I create a simple auto-frame, with no layers or anything inside. I apply the breakpoints variable for desktop (1920px) and two padding variables that work perfectly (280px and 120px). Then I go to the Appearance menu on the right side and select the breakpoints values. Here's where it gets interesting: I select Desktop, which is fine, but if I then sel

Prototypes embedded in Figma Slides no longer allow full vertical scrolling during presentation, even though vertical scrolling works correctly when the prototype is played directly. This appears to be a regression, as the same slides and prototypes worked previously. Whats happening: In the past, I’ve been able to embed interactive prototypes into Figma Slides and present them with full vertical scrolling enabled.Today, I created a new slide deck and added a prototype, but the vertical canvas scroll does not work as expected during slide presentation, despite working correctly when the prototype is played on its own.After noticing this, I went back and checked older slide decks where this behavior previously worked, and I’m now seeing the same scrolling issue there as well. Current behaviour for me:Scrolling only works within the initial height that was loaded when the slide was presented. If the prototype includes interactions that increase content height (e.g. expanding sections, ac

 Hello, I am on a verified Education plan and have moved my published Figma Make file into my Education team. My site is live at vivianwangdramaticworks.figma.site. In Make Settings → Domains, I only see Base domain and Edit domain. When I select Edit domain, I can only change the existing figma.site subdomain, and I do not see any option to add or connect a custom domain. I have already purchased a custom domain and need to connect it to this Figma Make site. Can you confirm whether custom domains are supported for Figma Make on the Education plan, or whether this requires Professional, Organization, or Enterprise?

Every frame in Presentation Mode has a gray hairline stroke around it - where in design mode it is just white fills over page fills. Any solution?

I need a help.I cannot create any prompt because Figma Make constantly shows the error message: “Something went wrong.”I don´t know what  I can do. Can you help? Thank you

Hi, all my libraries are facing the same issues: when I try to publish the changes, the modal appears, I press the “publish” button, but than nothing happens. It doesn’t work either with single components. I tried closing Figma, with the app, with browser but nothing changes. I am pretty sure there are no problems with my components. What could it be? It seems to be connected to my account, since I don’t face the same problem in client’s files. 

SummaryWhen a nested instance has its variant property bound to a variable, changing the variable's value (via mode switch) correctly switches the variant but resets instance swap overrides to their defaults.Steps to reproduceCreate a component set Button with: Variant property: State (enabled, disabled) Exposed instance swap property: Icon (default: any icon) Add a text varinat Create a variable collection with two modes (e.g. "rest" and "disabled") Add a string variable button/state with values: rest → "enabled", disabled → "disabled" Create a second component Wrapper and place a Button instance inside it Inside Wrapper, override the Button's Icon to a different icon, and update the text string Inside Wrapper, bind the Button's State variant to the button/state variable Place an instance of Wrapper on the canvas Switch modes on the Wrapper instanceExpectedButton switches State. Icon/Text override persists.ActualButton switches State. Icon override resets to the component default.N

I’m trying to push an update to a Figma Sites file I started a few weeks ago and continue encountering the same error over multiple days. I’ve tried:addressing all critical non-accessibility errors in the meantime I will work on any accessibility errors checking all video files are under 10MB and not using any non-Google fonts (as recommended in this post) checking my components (this post) all components live in the Figma Sites file directly rather than a separate Figma Design file I’ve read through a number of other posts related to this error and am at a loss, so let me know what I might be missing. In the future a more robust error message that specifies the cause or next steps would be appreciated. 

I copy a frame as an image and try to paste that image into a fill image property of another frame but this doesn’t work anymore. Even copy image from other source (from the browser, from computer) isn’t working too. I’m using Figma app on Windows
