I want to move an element, but the frame moves with it

Really frustrating, we’re working with a client on a new homepage and our After Delay animations aren’t starting on opening the link. Only once you hit ‘R’ to restart or refresh the page in the browser do they then begin. We don’t want to ask the client to do this as it looks unprofessional, and we shouldn’t have to as this wasn’t a problem until the recent updates. Is anyone else experiencing this?

We have a main project that we have fully licensed and have been adding people too, under that we created a new project to keep some things separate, however it’s come as “free” and I have paid for 15 people in the previous one to have full access, seems mental to need to recharged all these people again just for another project? Is this the only way?

Hi Figma Community, Our team is facing an issue with our shared design file that’s affecting productivity. The problem occurs when we try to fetch components from our design system or library. Specifically: It takes an unusually long time to load icons and components. The process often gets stuck, forcing us to wait for it to load completely. This isn’t isolated to one person or one file—it’s happening across our team, with everyone working on the same file. The delay is frustrating and wastes a lot of valuable time. We’ve checked our internet connection and ensured our system resources are sufficient, but the issue persists. Has anyone else experienced something similar, or does anyone have suggestions on how to resolve this? Any tips or guidance would be greatly appreciated! Thank you and I have attached an image for that problem

What is the difference between the ‘Instances’ and ‘Inserts’ in the analytics section of the library? Why does it differ in number?

I have some questions for the Figma pros: What do I have to think of, befor I start creating the design system? What are the best components to start with, based on atomic design? What are best solution for multi brands? Token or using master components? Working with master components, because Ive got 4 brands, Is it right, that I create the master component, copy the child from this component, change color, font from it and create out of this component a new component for brand? How to add and use a icon font in Figma?

I’m making some icons and want to turn the strokes I used to make them into outline stroke for SVG purposes. However, some icons break completely when trying this. I’m making sure that all possible paths are closed, I tried flattening the icons etc. But nothing seems to be working. Does someone know a solution for this? (I tried uploading a screen recording of this but I get a notification that new members can’t do this)

Hello y’all! I’ve been experiencing a weird issue with downloaded icons. I’m using iconic’s free set, but some of them have weird joint vectors when I set the outline. It looks as if 2 vectors were merged or close to each other, but when I look closer, I see no error? So I’m confused on how to fix it: Has anyone had the same issue or knows how to fix this case? Thanks!

В моей десктопной версии фигма для Windows нет панели инструментов с значком “Use as mask”. Как панель инструментов установить?

In case of using an organization plan, we tried to upload San Francisco (Apple) font packages to make them shareable through our organization. We are not sure if we can use Apple fonts this way. Do you know if someone had similar problems?

Hello, I have a problem. When opening the file, the error “Changes you made to [file name] while offline haven’t synced yet.” I don’t understand what to do with it and how to fix it.

When trying to publish a file in the community, it is published without errors but I can never see it in my profile, it also tells me next to the title, the legend “The community file is in review”. And when I consult the link of the file it shows me a 404 error, with the legend that “The file to be consulted does not exist or is not available” Do you know what could be causing the problem? I had previously published some files and had had no problems, however I have noticed that there have been various changes in file management and so on, I don’t know if this has anything to do with it. File: https://www.figma.com/community/file/1390160148903387362/prime-video-redesign-community In advance, I appreciate your help.

Pauses and delays in the mobile version of Figma when using the zoom parameter (K) in the prototype 🤯 . At the same time, everything runs smoothly with high FPS on the MacBook M2. Please optimize the performance of the mobile app. 🙏

Hi! For some reason, the new color picker stopped working initially in one file, and then in all files. Specifically, the ability to select a color token is no longer available. Can you help me understand what I might be doing wrong? I’ve already tried reloading the file, restarting Figma, and switching between interface versions.

I’m sure I’m overlooking something obvious, but I can’t find the panel control that will add boolean properties to a component. I commonly added boolean controls to Figma components. But maybe the Figma UI has updated recently and now I can’t find the design panel option that will allow the control addition for a component. When I select the sublayer within the component, I can’t find where I can now associate that layer with a boolean off/on appearance. I hunt through the design panel and can’t see it. What am I missing? I’ve included a file url below:Figma – 30 Dec 24 Thank you!

When using the Inline Device Frame for the iPhone, the notch is included which is great BUT… Slides doesn’t seem to adjust the content of the design to fall below the notch, whereas it would if it were actually being used/viewed on the device. In the included screenshot I’ve manually extended the height of the first container to move it below the notch. Am I missing some way to make this happen automatically?

The system said "Get an app to open this ‘desktop-shell-app’ link. Your pc doesn’t have an app that can open this link. Try looking for a compatible app in the Microsoft store. I already try to restart my pc and reinstall the app, but the problem is still remaining.

Hi, I’ve encountered a bug in Figma on the browser where I am unable to edit any existing text in my project. The only option available is to delete the text, as I can’t type a single character. I can create a new text box, but once it’s added to an existing frame, I can’t type anything. I am using Opera as my main browser. What I’ve tried: Switching accounts Changing projects Switching browsers Is this a new issue? How can I resolve it?

Здравствуйте, может кто знает или сталкивался с подобным: не прогружаются картинки при загрузке ссылки на прототип фигма, что сделать, чтобы все картинки прогружались. До сегодняшнего момента бывало одна или две не прогружались, а сейчас все не грузятся.

Может кто сталкивался с таким или знает, подскажите, при скидывании ссылки на прототип в фигма отсутствуют изображения. Раньше хоть одна - две не прогружались, а сейчас ничего не прогружает, что это может быть?
