Me and my partners always need to reload the tab project before Figma acknowledges that we have changes to publish. Every single time in the last month, when we have changed something in the design system, we need to reload the tab project to recognize that the project has changes to publish. It is so annoying. There is always something wrong with Figma. You could stop generating so many updates and create one that works. This is not a game, it is a professional program that people have to work with, and it is not exactly cheap. You fix one thing and break 7 along the way.

When I try to change a component, the right panel does not work.

Hey there 👋 …is there a way to set a custom “Fixed width” for a nested instance of the component? currently i’m just creating other master component (just one level higher) with the necessary width, but i’d like to avoid this method as i have to create new master each time which i think is not a good solution. So i’d like to know if there any other optimal way to set custom width for the nested instance.

In the UI I have no issue making these bindings (see image below). How can I do this using the API? it seems the variant property is not a valid option in the VariableBindableNodeField. I assume this would be achievable in code since this option is exposed in the UI. Does anyone know what I might be missing here? Thanks

The member of my team moved some files in the team but he didn’t choose any project or even draft. Files were moved directly in team and he see them between projects folder. Now all these files are disable. None can see them in projects or drafts or in team directly only by permanent link. But when owner or admin open these files they can work with them but can’t move to any project or draft because they have no permission for it. There is no any team name near file’s name on top panel. But we can find files in team by name using search option. How can we move such files in any project or draft? or how can we make them visible?

I have been waiting 5 min for my project to load and display my design files inside. Figma used to be sooo fast. I’ve tried killing the app but even that doesn’t work always.

i need to know how to fit my figure designed in Figma, in my mobile application. Because the screen resolution change.

Hello everyone, I’m trying to develop a widget that should update its UI once a variable is updated, but I cannot find how to do so in the documentation. Is there a way that I can use a variable to set the state of my widget?

I would like to check if anyone knows how to stop the modes from appearing in the layer? In the attached screenshot, I don’t want to display “PV” so that all my component names look similar. Thanks!

When setting a transition between two states of an interactive component based on the “drag” event the options to indicate the direction become impossible to select. Options to select direction are available when the animation type is different than auto-animate. However, those options appear disabled in the menu. so selecting auto-animate makes it impossible to go back to them. I included a short recording to illustrate this: I experienced the issue with the Figma app on a Mac.

when i open the project the window Blink several times finally the window black screen This problem continues about one month who can help me？

Hi! When using auto layout, the scroll behavior’s fixed option is disabled, making it impossible to fix content at the bottom. I’ve tried using absolute positioning, which keeps the bottom bar fixed, but it does not move responsively. What should I do? Thank you!

Hi, What events trigger an auto save in a file’s version history? I know adding, removing and editing elements triggers an auto save, but what about making comments, resolving comments? Thank you

I’ve got a design system that’s been built for tailwind css. All of the font styles are currently using the font Inter. Is there a way to universally replace fonts and apply it to all of the font styles in the system? I’ve tried various plug-ins but they only seem to replace the font in the figma pages and not the font styles in the design system itself.

Figma desktop app is not working , it showing black screen without any error message . I tried to uninstall and clear all the files in file manager and reinstalled it again but still its no opening throwing error like unable to open the Figma set up Please anyone help me with this issue

I have a nav icon that on hover displays a title and on click displays the menu. I am wondering in the prototype how to make the menu items clickable? I do not want to use open overlay because it doesn’t keep the nice smooth animation. Thank you!

Figma is pretty good with Google Fonts, but it always seems to be “behind” in the available fonts that you can pick in the UI. I tried to pick the font Wittgenstein - Google Fonts And it’s not visible as a font in the UI Font Pickers. Now I have to manually download and install the font, whereas normally you can just pick a Google Font and use it without installation (which saves a lot of space and memory on your computer).

We have multiple users who have opened tickets with Figma over the past 3 days to try to get help with an issue related to our user profiles and our admin account being locked out. We have yet to receive any responses from people at Figma. Is there any way to get a response from support?

As you see, i cannot invite people to my project. I need to solve this problem as soon as possible.

I’ve done all the tutorials in youtube or in Figma community, by deleting Figma folder in localapp or app data, but still can’t install my Figma

Multiple Figma accounts detected Make sure you’re logged into the same Figma account as the one that is attempting to authenticate to Jira, then try again. Has anyone seen this message before? I’m only logged into one account.

Missing page in Figma can it be restored? I worked about 11 hours in one page of the Figma file and have now discovered that the page is just gone, as well as 11 hours of work. The last time it was shown in the history was about 7 hours ago when a colleague visited the file, after that the page just disappeared

You could see and change the name of a FRAME on the board, but if you want to do with and INSTANCE. Is not possible, and you need to go to the layers, to change the name. Why one’s yes and others no? Better to do in all the elements. Thanks

Hi, everyone My screen flickers when I run the prototype in one of my projects (in the other projects everything works fine), the first 2 frames work smoothly and then everything starts flickering, I tried on several different computers and on mobile and the result is the same

Figma – 3 Jul 24 I created this prototype with the prototyper plugin but when I press play, smart animate isn’t working. I made sure I was using instances of the component set but it won’t play. What am I doing wrong here?
