I am making a music app for a school project. I am trying to do a horizontal line of a few items, which has a white square, image placed on top of the square and a title next to it. I was using the flatten button to do the first few items on the left, but then for some reason it stopped working. Whenever I would select the white background, the image and the text to flatten, the image would blow up and warp, but stay within the confines of their original size. This was the case no matter if I merged the image and the box first, or the image and the text, or the text and the box, etc. Same issue when trying to use ‘union selection’, except when I went to take a screenshot it started making all the elements disappear except one so that’s fun

Why are my side panels not undocking (even though it is UI3, they are fixed on (constrained on) sides and top and bottom. I really love the new UI3 look, really frustrated that I could not see it in my interface. 😥

I created a vector (on the left) from a picture (on the right). I’m wondering how to fill different parts of the figure with different colors? And related question: Left hand of Shmebulock is splitted from the arm with a narrow line. When I tried change width for path segment only the whole path is changed. So, my goal is to fill gaps with different colors and to have some of segment narrow.

Hello, I’v had this issue on few projects. Text layer is not hidden, but cannot visible on a screen. If I click text on a screen, then it sudden appears. It’s same visible issue with presentation mode, too. I guess it’s about memory issue, because many objects inside the project. What’s about? And how to solve this issue? Please help.

In Figma Slides, I can’t seem to edit the bounding boxes on text. This makes it impossible for example to change the font of a subsentence because it can’t be selected. “How can I make the blue box bigger without making the text bigger too?”

Is there a way to substitute the values of inherited variables from other files in my library? For instance, I want to have the color variable “Error” be #ff4040 in master file while having that very same variable be #F02090 in a different file I’m working on- Additionally that variable is being used in various asset instances that I call from the master file. So, if I inserted an asset component with “Error”(#ff4040) background color from my library, it would have #f02090 as its background in the current file.

Hi everyone! I’m trying to open a file, but it wont load. I have the same problem in desktop app and online. When I trying to open this file, I got this tip “we experiencing issue open this file”. Can anyone help me? I need to open the file again. I can open other files, but not that one. Thanks in advance.

Has anyone found a way to set up top-level frames so that they auto-resize in height (or width) based on the content in the artboard?

I have a menu component that is built from instances of a link component. The link component has the usual variants (default, selected, etc). I’m using instances of the menu component across the page in different views. In each view I have applied the selected state to a different link. When I update the copy of the links in the menu component it gets updated in the instances BUT not for the links for which I have applied the selected state previously. In order to update the copy for all instances I need to reset all changes for the instances and then apply the selected states again. What am I missing, why don’t the text updates get pushed to the nested instances?

I have been working on a Dropdown Component, this component has been made by combining multiple Dropdown Item Component. After prototyping and declaring this new component, the bug I am facing is when I use an instance of it and update values as per the requirement, for example a dropdown is for colors - Red, Blue, Green, then dropdown header would be Select Colors, clicking over it, dropdown would expand and show items - Red, Blue, Green, now if user has selected Blue from Menu, dropdown will collapse and dropdown header would change to Blue as that item has been selected, but in prototype when I select any item the header text doesn’t change it shows me the default value that I declared in the original component The instance only works smoothly if I don’t update values.

In desktop app for windows it is showing blurry text & icons, I checked with other third party software all of them looks crisp & clean like Slack, Microsoft & Adobe apps, But with Figma it is showing me this blurry icons & now i am very frustrated after seeing it for long

Doing a single turn of the mouse wheel scrolls the selection 5 miles, causing me to skip some plugins and lose my overview. I dont want to change my Windows settings because of a single app scrolling too much. This would not be a problem if a scrollbar existed.

Is there a way to detach a text style from a textNode through the Figma API?

Hey, we are working on a quite complex prototype at the moment and stumbled upon a issue with variable modes and component variants. Ill try to break it down as best as I can: In our product users have the option to link an account to reveal additional links that arent visible initially. To achieve that, we build several components with 2 variants distinguishable with a boolean “linked”. In our prototype we switch between this linked-status via a variable mode. So a user can go through the linking process and said components change from “linked=false” to “linked=true” to reveal additional options. This works without a problem and the UI changes as expected. But now we run into the issue how to further link the now shown options. When we change the variable mode globally to “linked” we gain access to the additional options and can give them navigation interactions. But these given interactions wont work when switching the mode dynamically in the prototype. Here is image for more contex

We are using an ‘on drag’ (as there is still no ‘swipe’) interaction to emulate a carousel of cards. Pretty standard stuff. Works great on desktop and on mobile view on a desktop, but when viewed on an actual mobile devices it is really unstable. We carry out user testing with real users on real devices and this needs to work much better as it makes our prototypes un testable. Is there anything in the roadmap to improve this feature? Thanks!

I typed “SHIFT + I” to get some components, this window opened (pop-up) and not closing. I tried “ESC”, clicking outside the box and etc. But it is not working. I’m always havin trouble with closing this window. Please add an “x” button or something to close this.

I’m trying to get the component to resize from the center on it’s press state, similar to Slack’s mobile app or twitter. Right now it’s resizing on press state from top left instead. Figma – 31 Oct 24

Es posible mediante un plugin o algo, controlar el tiempo en el que estoy trabajando en un proyecto? Tengo que controlar horas segun cada proyecto y es dificil hacerlo.

I’ve been trying to use Hot Reload for a while now but it doesn’t update. I always need to reload the plugin. Is there anything I can do?

Copying does not work in Figma. I mean the keys Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V when transferring an image. What can be the reason?

On 29 October 2024, we noticed that all users (almost 500 users) who were not authorised in Figma Pro team but had access to any of the files as viewers were included in the Pro Team as viewers. We manually removed all users from the team file. We cannot see which files users can access via Pro team and this makes tracking difficult. Is there a place where we can see which files the users that Figma automatically imports can access? Previously, you had a field called ‘User X can see 2 projects’ but it is no longer available. Can you help?

A week ago I upgraded to the “Professional” plan and my debit card was charged $15.90 but when I login with that same account now I see this account is on the “Starter” (Free) plan and I have no access to professional features like dev mode. I see no option to contact the Figma accounts or billing team directly and the charge show’s up on my bank statement as a recurring payment. Unfortunately, I am going to have to dispute the charge through my bank and say that this is fraud (because at this point, it really is).

im using Figma for designing but i can’t able to copy image to it

I checked all my notifications settings for comments. Everything is on. I checked that I’m on the right team and was also added as an admin. I’m not able to tag myself in a comment but I can tag other people just fine. Even the files I created people cannot find me to mention. Thought maybe it would just take time for me to show up in the mention drop down but it has been a month.
