Fix launched: Figma incorrectly sharing to selection

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!)

    Hey all - I’ve been looking into this myself, but I’m not seeing the same issue. On my end, in both desktop and web version of Figma, I can get the link to share directly to a section and it works as expected.

    I’m not entirely sure, but I’m wondering if you’re all having issues with this that involves Atlassian. Can anyone confirm if you’re having this pop up when using Atlassian’s smart links?

    This is not only an issue in Atlassian, I have this just clicking on a link that somebody shared a specific section and it worked in the beginning but then not anymore. I believe this has to do when figma writes data to the browser (session or local storage) at one point it does not work anymore. Probably hard bug to fix because it happens only to some people sometimes.

    PS: i just checked this by clearing the browser data in the Figma app with the developer console and then logging in again and then clicking on a shared link. that works correctly

      Good to know! Can anyone else here try this out to see if it corrects?
