Question

Figma Community tab auto closes when selecting a file.

Why does the community tab now auto closes when i pick a file, I like how it works way back then when i can click multiple files using shift + click and it opens in new tabs. The new update made it so I can only choose one at a time and now this latest update its forcing me to go click the community page and search over again if i want to explore files. So frustrating.

    I’m experiencing a recurring issue in Figma where the Community tab closes automatically either when I switch between browser tabs or immediately after opening a community file. This makes it difficult to explore or duplicate community resources, and I often have to reopen the Community tab multiple times. The issue persists across different browsers and after clearing cache. Please help resolve this bug or suggest any workaround to maintain the Community tab open.

      I’m convinced Figma designers don’t actually test with its user base. If they did, some of the features that currently exist wouldn’t be have been published, and other features we have asked for over the last few years would exist instead.

      Normally, I wouldn’t notice this specific issue - but having to re-search and scroll down because I saw multiple files I want to look at - it resets the community section if you either open a file, or navigate to another tab. Sigh.
