I cannot right click the visibility icon

I am trying to set the visibility as a variable because I want to create a filter for my item lists. I saw a tutorial on Youtube that explains that to mimic a filter, one can simply assign a variable to the visibility of the layer and toggle it based on the user input on the drop-down filter. However, when I right-click the visibility icon, Figma registers my action as if I simply left-clicked on it, thus making it disappear instead of opening the menu. Does anyone know how to fix this? Any other right-click works perfectly fine.

Using AI in the classroom

Hi there, As a college professor teaching visual design, my question is to the educators. How are you folding in AI into your curriculum? My concern is is that AI will cut into ideation such as sketching and wireframing. Also how can we vet work what was created by AI and not by the student?

Best way to create a processing map in Figma

Hi all! I have a question regarding the best way to create these types of “processing map”. My team uses the QUEST Tibco’s Nimbus product (if someone is familiar with this product) and basically they have these “parent” maps with instructions, in them there are also linked some child maps that you can click on from the parent one and then it goes to it. You can also attach documents in them, so I’m curious if there is a way of doing the same thing or similar in Figma and what’s the best way. I’m also looking for a way of attaching links and documents and if there is a possibility to hyperlink icons in it. Thank you!

AI content training on by default, regardless of tier, is unethical

For Starter and Professional, content training is set to ‘on’ by default — admins can opt out For Organization and Enterprise, content training is set to ‘off’ by default training AI content training should be opt in. Period.

Different display of the same font on different computers

Hello everyone! We are working with the Geologica font, it is displayed differently on my computer and on my colleague’s computer. To be more precise, the shape of the letter A changes when you click on the text. For example, this is what the phrase looks like: Screenshot by Lightshot I click on the text and this is what happens to the letter A: Screenshot by Lightshot At the same time, the letter A on a colleague’s computer does not change. It doesn’t change even if I write a new phrase. We tried to remove and install the font again, but it didn’t work. Nothing changes in either the browser or computer versions. Please tell me, maybe someone has encountered such a problem?

Toggle Show/Hide UI not working on Windows since Ctrl + can not be pressed

At least on European keyboards (don’t know about the others) there is no dedicated backslash button. Therefore I can not use Ctrl + \ to show or hide the UI of the Figma web app. Keyboard combinations with Alt are not working. If I hide the UI with the help of the menu, I can not Show it again since the menu is part of the UI. !!??!

Figma Mirror app doesn't render the design correctly

When using mirroring on my phone, the design doesn’t show properly. Sometimes there are missing elements, or elements that are not fully visible. This happens even when I open Figma Mirror on my phone’s browser. Here’s how my design shows up: I’m using the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra. Already tried re-installing the app and clearing the cache.

Education plan for under 13 years of age

I am a tutor trying to switch from Jamboard to FigJam. My current online student is under 13 years of age. Does that mean we cannot use this platform, or is there a way for younger students to join with a parental consent? Thanks for your help.

Figma app update fails

This is not a new problem since i’ve seen other people with the same issue but i’ve already tried possibles solutions and it have not helped me at all. Every time i open Figma there this pop up that tells me that there is a new update available and asks if i want to install it now or on the next launch. But it does not matter which button i press because it keeps appearing. I’ve already tried to uninstall and download again the app, to restart the device, etc, etc. So i’m hoping for a new solution, because i’ve been also trying to reach Figma staff and i hear no response neither.

Best practice for Icon grid

I’m currently creating a design system and when it comes to icons, i’m not sure what do to regarding the frames for the icons and padding inside it. Google Material UI recommends to have 24x24px frames for the icons and that you add padding so that your icon is 20x20px inside the frame. But that seems weird to me, if i do that, my paddings are going to be off. I have a 8pt grid, and let’s say I have some text and an icon, if I set my padding to 8px, in reality the distance between the icon and the text is going to be a bit more than 8px. I stumbled across an article about design systems recommending something like that. That seems more appropriate to have a pixel perfect design. But most of the ressources I find follow the general rules of material UI regarding icon frames. What do you guys think ? What method do you use for your icons ?
