Fix launched: Figma incorrectly sharing to selection

  • July 10, 2024

There is a bug in the copy link to selection function.

When using the pop up menu and selecting “copy link to selection” it will copy the link to the exact thing that I’ve selected (yay!)

The “copy link to selection” function also has a shortcut key, ⌘L (yay!)

When using the ⌘L shortcut the link copied only points to the frame/section that the selected object is within, not the original selection. This means that the pop up menu option and the shortcut for that menu option will point to two different links (boo!)

@dvaliao Actually this issue is still happening. Both with the keyboard shortcut and when clicking Share. The parent frame is shared, not the selected frame.

We’re still experiencing the issue. When sharing a section (keyboard shortcut, right click menu or share button - it’s the same with all of them), the link opens the whole project, instead of that specific section. For privacy reasons we need the rest of the project/board to remain hidden when sharing a section. Is there a fix for this?

I’m still experiencing this issue. No “link to selected frame” option from ‘Share,’ and cmd+L links to the entire parent frame.

I’m seeing a lot of older posts claiming the bug was fixed, but it’s not.

This is still an issue. Does not link the specified frame via Share button, right click, or CTRL + L.

Still having issues with these frame links… I copy a frame link from a page that contains only app views, and when copy pasting it in Jira it shows me a frame link from another page dedicated to Web Desktop views…

I am also experiencing issues with sharing links to selected selections and frames. It always just links to the whole page, not to the selection. This makes sharing very annoying for everyone involved.
