Hei, I discover interaction between normal text and text with underline not work. One component is normal text the other is with underline. At first the hover effect worked without text input changing. When I changed text in the instance, then interactive effect disappeared.

Variant Nodes Not Connecting

Hello, I am trying to connect variants via nodes which I have done plenty of times before, but for some reason this time its not working. I want to create a “favorite” button. Step 1: I used 2 assets from material design: Step 2: I created a component and variant of the empty “heart”: Step 3: I copied and replaced the “filled” heart with variant 2: Step 4: When I try to connect nodes, I can connect variant 1 to variant 2, but it won’t let me connect variant 2 to variant 1: I’ve tried detaching instances and I’ve used assets this way before without issue so not sure what’s going on. Thanks for the help!

Exporting at 2x is only changing resolution and not dimensions

I have tried several times to figure out why 2x is only changing the pixel density from 72 to 144, but not adjusting the dimensions of the image. 3x exporting seems to work just fine. This is causing issues for our development team who has repeatedly been requesting help the past week in exporting new image assets as they can not get the correct resolution themselves. I’ve had other designers attempt to get a correct 2x export with the same issue. Can someone please help? Example of issue: https://www.figma.com/file/ZhV5LFzPd3ZJpJQauNYZYl/Untitled?type=design&node-id=0%3A1&mode=design&t=6BEbbska5jA59FIW-1

Workflow for mobile+desktop design

we currently share designs for both mobile and desktop browser layouts in a single File, and just lay out both the mobile and desktop versions within one Page. how are others doing this/what works best for your team? do you use separate pages? are there Figma features specifically designed to make implementation and workflow smooth, so that team can build “mobile first” but complete both mobile and desktop within the scope of a single work item?

Vertical Trim rounds to pixel?

Text bounding box height is always quantized when ‘Cap height to baseline’ vertical trim is on, frequently resulting in bounding boxes that are too tall or too short – is this expected behavior?

Compatibility issues between Figma and Sogou input methods

In Figma, using Sogou input method, after entering any Chinese symbol, typing Chinese characters will not be displayed. You need to press the arrow keys (right or down) or enter Arabic numerals before continuing to type in Pinyin.

Xbox game controller isn't working on an Android prototype

I am developing an app that will be controlled by game controller. It works great on my MacOS Figma app and the iOS Figma app when I have an Xbox controller paired. On an Android device, the Xbox controller triggers events within the Figma app (e.g., B button exits out of prototype instead of triggering what I have wired into the prototype itself). Has anyone dealt with this?

Need help with weird hover issue

I made a batch of button-like components for use in my project. At first all hover animations went smooth, just as I wanted. Further in the design phase I changed some background colors and I noticed my hovers were messed up, all except for one of the buttons. As you can see in the file, the left button’s hover doesn’t go smooth, the color fades just suddenly pop in. The right button works fine. Funny thing is that I made every button based off the left button, and only changed the shape in the background. I was wondering if any of you people could point me in the right direction to what is wrong, because I just can’t figure it out. Figma – 16 Jul 24

Our Figma Plugin "Figci"

Hi everyone! My team and I have developed a version control plugin for Figma called “Figci.” If you have some time, I would really appreciate it if you could try it out and give us some feedback! [Introduction to Figci] A teammate, who was a designer, came up with the idea to solve some of the inconveniences experienced during collaboration with developers. When designers had to share updated design drafts with developers, they often needed to comment on or organize the changes, which could lead to communication issues. We wanted to find a way for developers to easily visualize these changes. In Git, code changes are highlighted in green or red, so everyone can see what has been added or deleted. Inspired by this, we developed a tool that highlights design changes in green or orange, making it easier to identify the modified elements. 👉 Check out this Link: Figci Link [How to Use Figci] Click the link Click “Open in…” Open the project where you want to check version changes!

I have a question about my Figma account

Hi, I’m a designer and I’m authorized with a Figma student account. But when I create a project and share it to a developer, do I need to edit the permissions to “Can edit” to share it? Or can I just set it to “Can view” and share it? And then I share it to the developer, and the developer says in Figma Verification required / To edit this Education team file from, verify that you’re a student or educator. If I want to address the exposure of the above phrase, do I need to upgrade my account that created the design to a professional team account? Does the other developer need to upgrade their account information? I use a student account, and I’m not sure if I should upgrade. Does this mean I need to upgrade my account to a team account?

Missing all files

I need help finding my files. Today when I’ve opened my Figma account, all of my files were missing. It’s like somehow, my account was reseted, and all I can see is a project that I’ve been working yesterday. They don’t appear even in the deleted tab, so I don’t really know what to do. Anyone know what could have happened? Thank you!!

Figma frames preview in Notion displays whole file in stead of frame

I set up some documentation of a design I made for a client and put some previews inside the pages. The documentation is made in Notion. To embed the right preview, I copied the link via the Share dialogue, while the frame was selected. The option ‘link to selected frame’ was ticked. After pasting the link, Notion ‘generated’ the preview inside the page. After the weekend, I wanted to update some of the pages. And what happened? The previews of the frames turned at once into previews of the whole file. 😦 Nothing really changed between Friday and Monday. Anyone any idea? Thanks, René
