I’m experiencing it too, and also something similar - once I click on the tabs from the end of the list it jumps to the beginning.
I use desktop app, full screen, external screen, os Sonoma.
Still not fixed in the latest update.
Same here! It is impossible to work this way 😦
Hey anyone know if Figma’s down?
it says i have unsaved changes
Hey All, so sorry for the delay!
We are still tracking this bug, and our engineering team is actively investigating the issue to determine its root cause so they can work towards a solution. We do not have an exact timeline for a solution yet, however we are making every effort to address this issue as soon as possible.
In the meantime, the issue seems to only impact the desktop app when set to fullscreen on Sonoma and using an external monitor. As a workaround, you can adjust the desktop app to the size of your window but not enter fullscreen mode with macOS. Another option would be to use the browser version instead of the desktop app or to try and configure your external monitor as the primary one.
Thanks again for your patience while the team continues to investigate.
Hey @Margarita_Nazar, no - we’re not aware of any recent service disruptions: https://status.figma.com/
Same here. Drived me crazy, so started using non-fullscreen.
Encountering this as well on MacBook Pro 16-inch, 2021 model when viewing in fullscreen on an external monitor. When I click on an existing tab, the tab immediately goes to another window. I have to then “swipe” between the different windows to view multiple files. It’s made the multi-tab view useless.
Hi, Petar!
Did you find the solution? I have the same issue
This keeps happening to me but in the Figma app. If I have multiple projects open, and in full-screen mode, once I click on a project it will jump to its own tab. Is anyone experiencing this?
I checked Preferences, and I do not see an option for ‘Open links in desktop app’
@dvaliao, I hope the engineering team is taking this issue as a high priority. It is affecting many users, and the number of users affected will keep rising as they update their OS.
Having the same issue - also using an external monitor
- Sonoma 14.0
- My Figma is updated
- Problem only occurs when in full screen mode
Please guys… this is highly frustrating
I think this is supposed to be a new feature (so it’s now possible to have multiple windows and not just multiple tabs)? But I agree, it is too “easy” to open new windows, I don’t seem to have control of it! Super annoying to end up with multiple windows open, especially because they are difficult to close. I find Figma slower since this has been released too.
Same issue here! Super annoying too, and I find Figma super slow since this behavior started
Every time I switch files, the file automatically separated to another window.
How can I use these files into one app? I want to use it by selecting tabs in the same window. Help me, plz. 🙂
Guys, really, a month and a half has passed!
maybe you can fix this annoying bug already?
I recently received an update for Figma. I updated but I’m still experiencing this issue on two different external monitors.
Any update on this? @dvaliao ?
Hey there,
I have a weird bug – when I change tabs (clicking on another tab area) in my Figma-App in full-screen it automatically opens the tab I am clicking on in a new window.
It doesn’t happen when it’s minimized. And it sometimes works when I change from the community tab to a design tab. It does not work when I change from a design tab to a design tab or from a design tab to a FigJam tab.
To clarify I also don’t press any keys while clicking on the tab.
It automatically happens when I am in full-screen in the app.
Does anyone have an idea on how to fix this? It’s quite annoying.
Thank you!
Hey All, sorry for the continued frustration!
Rest-assured, our team is proactively working on solving this bug, and we hope to have a fix soon!
For now, the best workarounds are:
• Change which monitor is your primary. (It doesn’t seem to happen if the external monitor is primary and laptop is secondary.)
• Change the orientation of the monitors in settings to be left and right. (It may not match physical layout and it’ll be confusing, but it helps.)
I am experiencing the same issue and becoming SUPER anoying. I hope we can have a response soon.
@dvaliao Thanks for your answer. I’m sure they are working on that. It’s just it is too annoying!
By the way, neither of the workarounds worked, at least with my setup (MacBook Pro 2020 with Intel, running Sonoma 14.0 and a super ultrawide monitor). The tabs keep jumping, but now within the same window. The best way to avoid it is still not to use Figma on fullscreen
I have the same problem, super annoying 😤
