Figma prototype showing white spaces

For some reason whenever I’m viewing my prototype, I’m seeing a white background over some parts of my designs. Not sure what’s the reason, but it’s consistent whether I’m viewing it on my desktop app or web app.

I included an image of how it looks within the prototype view vs how it looks in the actual design.

Hi all,

Thank you for your patience and for providing the file links. Our engineering team has addressed the issue, and it should be resolved now. Could you please refresh the prototype tab and check if everything is working as expected?

If you keep seeing it, please feel free to let us know.

Thanks again!

These white screens do not only appear on my computer, I have shared the link to the prototype with other people and some of them also see these white screens.

I`ve encountered the same problem. White frames appear randomly and chaotically in, covering elements thus also interfering drastically the prototype presentation to the customers.
Tried seeing if there were any hidden frames with the outline function -found none.

I’m also having this issue, in Figma and in browsers. If I change the proto options to ‘fill screen’ sometimes the blank spaces fill in. If I resize my browser(when in ‘fill screen’ mode), the blank spaces fill in.

Have to present protos to C-Suite soon and am dreading this issue coming up.

Hey all,

Thanks for flagging. We’re currently investigating this issue with our engineering team. Would you be able to share the prototype file link with us pleas? If you’d prefer DM, please let me know. I’ll DM you.

Also, could you check if you can see prototype without logging in?

Thanks for your help!

I am having this issue as well. (I have large sections of my project which are “whited” out) Layers aren’t behaving correctly either (I have a shape over an image with transparency, the transparency doesn’t show.)

@Joshua_Davis Since this was supposed to be fixed already, can you send more info?

  • Is this happening when you try to view the prototype via web browser and desktop app?
  • If you duplicate the file with the prototype you’re having issues with, does it run as expected, or is it still showing whited-out sections?
  • If you’re on the desktop app – have you recently closed / reopened the app? Sounds weird to ask, but sometimes you won’t see changes if you don’t restart the app and/or your computer.

Thank you for your quick response!

  • Situation is present during design and prototype- browser AND app

  • Issue persists even when duplicated

  • Closed, quit, and restarted app. Situation is still present. It’s as if there is a white shape layer over certain parts of the design. But there isn’t at all. The layers and information are still there though, they show in the layers menu. And they show up as outlines if I hit Shift+O to show outlines.
