Hi all, I have a prototype with few screens that are scrollable, each screen has buttons that scroll with content and also buttons that are fixed, like the back arrow and menu you see in the screenshot. After using the prototype for a while, the button hit are, for both fixed and scrollable buttons starts to move away from the buttons, as you can see in the screenshot. If I close the file and reopen it, everything works fine at first, but then it’s just a matter of time until this starts happening again. Does anyone have an idea why this is happening and how to fix it?

Sorry, I’m new to using external libraries so forgive me if I’m missing something. So I’m in one file with components. I tried to find the answer in the forums, but failed. I’m sure it’s in there somewhere, but there’s lots of publishing posts. I have a component in this library that doesn’t seem to want to update properly in a different file. When I click on it, its properties are out of date. If I select “go to master component”, it goes to the correct component in a different file. I don’t know if this is relevant: I see under the little book icon, that there are 66 changes in the file. I don’t actually see the problematic component there. I see a bunch of old components I haven’t touched in ages. So I hit “Publish” anyway. So after a couple minutes of chewing, I see a message at the bottom of the screen. “Successfully published library updates”. I see there’s still a blue dot on the book icon. I click it. It still tells me there are 66 changes in the file.

Hi, what might be the problem, when I can’t create an “Open overlay” -connection from objects to frames in my prototype? For example “On click, Navigate to” works perfectly, but when I try to change it to “Open overlay” (or if I try to create one from scratch), the Destination field shows “None”.

I’m looking for a way to set a variable on prototype start or onLoad? I know I can set the default value but there are some cases where I would like to add some logic onStart or onLoad. Does this functionality exist? Am I missing something?

I’ve an issue with a Layer Blur. I’ve made some components, scale them down as I needed then add a layer blur 20%. After some time I reopen the project and see that the blur is 85.5%. Like 4 times bigger value than expected.

since the last update, i noticed the eyedropper tool has been updated to this form. However it is extremely laggy. Every time i press “i” to pick a color i get annoyed by the mouse cursor moving like 3fps. Although it doesn’t affect the functionality, it is extremely annoying when in the flow of work. Please can anyone who has the same problem or knows how to fix it help me.

Hi, so I have this message in shown on top of my desktop app which is asking me to download the latest version of the Figma app. So I downloaded it and installed it but it shows this message: The application “Figma” can’t be opened. And now I can’t revert to the older version since the download link from Figma is the latest version that I can’t use.

My Figma account was hacked earlier today and the hacker is requesting bitcoin, 6k equivalent. Can Figma support help me get my files back? it’s all I have left after bankruptcy. I have sent a message to Figma support but no feedback yet, I have also change my password and while doing that, he deleted all the files making it difficult to recover anything back, including the team files and draft. Please, I need help. Could you help me?

Good day. After the version update, the problem has recurred—the files have disappeared from Figma. The first time the issue arose was with the update on October 24, 2024. With the latest update, a significant portion has gone missing (approximately 15 files).

从mastergo中可以看到连接线+AI， 而从figma中 是无的， 它也是改版的，所以现在的figma是失败的

i found a bug on the effect slider. It happend when i want to use the slider to increase or decrease the amount of blur, or position of the effect, i cant do it using mouse slide like i usually do. I have no worries for this bug because i can still input the value using keyboard, but i think its a big problem for some other people. btw. i cant put attachment, so no img or video for better understanding 😭 Figma app version: idk, how to tell the ver, maybe 124.6.5 (written on the app.exe)

Hi, @community_support Yesterday i made changes in my account and disabled two-factor authentication. Now 2F authentication is enabled, but I still can’t publish a new release of the plugin. When I tried to publish it, I got the message Fix errors before publishing We detected a change to your account details. Please contact support@figma.com to publish this plugin What do I have to do to put a new version of the plugin on Figma again?

I’m trying to export some text into SVG, but the text also has some pretty thick borders on them, as well as a drop shadow. We are trying to figure out a way to display this text on a website without it being blurry or having the spiky effect on the stroke, so hence we’re trying to get an SVG. Unfortunately it seems only the stroke is being exported? Any way we can have the whole thing export together?

Hi! Does anyone knows where are personal access tokens located? Previously, this feature was located in the account settings. I’m afraid it was removed after the update.

I updated my manifest to "documentAccess": "dynamic-page" and am using Figma.loadAllPagesAsync() but the error I keep getting in my console is: vendor-core-68cf3be3dda5691a.min.js.br:15 unhandled promise rejection: Error: in get_mainComponent: Cannot call with documentAccess: dynamic-page. Use node.getMainComponentAsync instead. import { getSelectedInstances } from "../app/utils/getSelectedInstances"; // Adjust the path as necessary import { getImageURL } from "../app/utils/getImageURL"; import { componentMap } from "../app/data"; // Adjust the path as necessary // Clear console on reload console.clear(); // Default plugin size const pluginFrameSize = { width: 320, height: 500, }; // Show plugin UI figma.showUI(__html__, pluginFrameSize); // Declare a global variable to store scanned components let scannedComponents: { id: number; // Added id to the scanned component structure node: InstanceNode; // Change to InstanceNode newComponentKey: string; checked: boolean; ol

Hi All, I’m trying to private-publish a new plugin, but get a warning asking to update the manifest.json with “documentAccess”: “dynamic-page” . is this mandatory now?

How to give the prototype link outside of the organization?

Trying to export a single (long) frame as a PDF (it’s a case study) but some of my images that have been brought in as PDFs are showing black lines around the edges. Is there a way to get rid of this? It looks untidy and unprofessional. These lines are not shown in the Figma file - only when exporting to PDF. note that this is not black boxes around links - I had come to learn of this problem while trying to search for a solution for my problem.

I hate Figma because of this, and I’m stopping using this software. A month ago, I purchased a product that cost $18. I used it for one day and canceled the subscription within a week. Today, I received a notification that Figma is trying to charge $18 from my account for the same plugin whose subscription I canceled a month ago. It even shows in Figma’s subscriptions section that it’s canceled, but the company continues to send payment requests to the bank. Because of this, I had to close my account and withdraw funds from my cards. This is outrageous. I have already initiated legal action regarding this issue. I hope everyone involved will be held accountable.

I have noticed that occasionally objects move on a frame when I copy it by using Alt+drag. At first I thought I had accidently moved things, but it kept happening. It’s not every time, so it’s hard to reproduce. Has anyone else seen this?

Guys, there is a problem with images on mobile while using the mirror mode. Images don’t appear on devices. I’ve tested several phones. Please, help. Figma – 21 Nov 24

Hi, not sure how to figure this one out. I have a circle that I want to expand on hover, but when I increase the size in the direction I want, it does not go in that direction. I know it’s possible as I’ve seen similar stuff and it’s a pretty basic interaction, such as expanding circles for heart/favourite micro-interactions. Prototype current example: https://www.figma.com/proto/yFy1wCYfhMkC3lxOjz0HNN/Untitled?page-id=0%3A1&node-id=5%3A36 - In this example, I want the circle to finish inside of the rectangle container with the image. Any help would be appreciated 🙂

I removed Figma from my automatic login list in the system settings of my Mac. It just now decided to ADD ITSELF, WITHOUT PERMISSION when I haven’t opened it in days. I need an explanation for this absurd activity and instructions for making sure this doesn’t happen again. My computer is working on extremely time consuming 3D rendering operations and I cannot have some application I never use deciding to log itself into the background. Frankly I can’t believe I even have to bring this up.
