I am unable to view values for background blur of a rectangles that i have used in a design. here is the screenshot of the design. The Blurred rectangle is used just behind the Login & create account Button. i have attached screenshots for reference.


Is this a bug from Figma side. My developer is having a hard time finding values. If this is something from my side, I am open to discussion

Hey @JatinMansotra, thanks for flagging this!

This is definitely a bug. We’ve passed this onto our Dev mode team to try and reproduce and work on a fix.

How did you discover the bug? Are you able to share a link to your file that we can pass onto the Dev mode team?

If so, please include a link to the file within this thread and add support-share@figma.com as an editor, so our team can take a closer look.


Hi @dvaliao I will replicate the file and give you access.
how i found it - It was an update to an already built design. The developer was unable to find the values of Blur in dev mode, so he contacted me. I checked and all other effects values were working fine except blur.
PS: also unable to export this rectagle as svg. It shows an error and also if it exports its a 0kb svg.

Hope this helps
regards
Jatin Mansotra

Thanks, @JatinMansotra!

Any update here? I’m still noticing that Background Blur values are not showing up in Dev Mode.

Hey All,

No update on a fix yet. From the file provided by Jatin, it seems to be a remixed UI Kit. So since it’s using the “legacy” iOS codegen, this seems to be an expected, long standing bug for now.

@Nick_Gertonson - If you’re able to provide a link to your file for the team to look at as well, it would help. Be sure to share edit access with support-share@figma.com, so they can take a closer look.

@dvaliao

Our team is facing a similar bug (?) where the blur values are only showing up as css properties in the styles panel without any reference to the actual local variable.

Our designers are using a local variable called blur-md which maps to another variable #1 applied to it which in turn is 8px. (blur-md > #1 > 8px).

In the dev tools the variable is not referenced anywhere but only shows up in the styles panel directly:

The confusing part is, that the variable apparently is being halfed calc(var(--blur, 8px) / 2) and we kind of don’t know why that is.

I’ve invited support-share@figma.com to an example file, but it should be pretty easy to replicate. Not doing anything special here, just a simple Background Blur effect that only shows up in the CSS version of Dev mode. Need to be able to communicate blur values with iOS and Android engineers.

Thanks, @Nick_Gertonson!

Did you use anything in your file from the UI Kit? And can you still share a direct link to the file?

Support-share is a shared account by the entire Figma support team, so invites get lost, as we continuously receive edit access from users throughout the day.

Hey @Jean13, thanks for flagging this!

Not sure if this would be a related bug. Did you use anything in your file from the UI Kit? And are you able to share your file with us?

If so, please include a link to the file within this thread and share edit access with support-share@figma.com, so our Dev mode team can take a closer look.
