Where it happens?



  • Figma Desktop App version 116.6.3

  • Web: Yandex Browser 23.1.2.987 (64-bit)


Steps to reproduce:



  1. Open your recent Figma file

  2. Drag the elements left/right or zoom in/out and make sure Figma is working fine

  3. Turn on the “Rulers” by clicking the Figma menu > View > Rulers

  4. Drag the elements left/right or zoom in/out to see the lagging and high CPU usage


My laptop specs:



  • CPU Intel 6500U

  • RAM 16Gb

  • Intel HD Graphics 520

Sorry, GPU. Not CPU 😀


Thank you for the post, I was wondering all the time, why everything is so laggy in Figma and you helped me to find out, that it is the ruler, that might cause the issue. ♥️
