Question

Applying text styles is slow

I always get annoyed for the time Figma takes to apply the selected text styles. It’s taking approximately a second time.

These are the little things that build up or collapse a great product experience.

Do you guys also experiencing the same ?

Thanks, Gleb,

I did fill a support request form. I don’t think it gave me back any ticket number - just nicely thanked me. So no clue if anyone is going to see it.

I also have this issue and I reported it to Figma. I got a quick response, that they have filed a bug report for engineering to review. Let’s hope they find a solution!

Good luck with that, @jussiv. My ticket on the same is marked closed, without fixing.

I experienced the same issues. And it’s not consistent, sometimes it works very fast, sometimes it never works. Sometimes updating the style in the shared library solve the issue. But it’s really annoying. Anyone solved the issue yet?

Does anyone else experience severe lag or unresponsiveness when trying to update colours or text styles from their design library?

Sometimes I have to wait a few seconds before it changes and other times it just doesn’t work at all. This is super frustrating. There will also be occasions when I select to change one colour, and move onto the next element to change that colour, and the change from the first element will apply to the second element because of this lag. Other times it just flat out refuses to change, even with a restart of the app.

Am I the only one who experiences this? Is there any way to fix it?

This is happening to me as well lately – wasn’t a problem a month ago, definitely is now. Changes are slow and often not applied at all.

This is happening to me as well. Any news from Support on this?

There’s a hidden strategy followed by Figma recently. I got connected with a Figma internal salesperson and he says that I need to buy the Organization plan to apply styles quickly. 🤷‍♂️t4:

Salespeople don’t usually know the technical stuff like this, so maybe he meant something different? It seems to be a caching and loading issue. Hurting people’s experience would be a weird strategy to make them upgrade, it makes zero sense.
