I have a question about mouse enter mouse leave interaction: In a mega menu with an overlay like this: when the mouse leaves “Shop by” for example, the overlay doesn’t disappear UNLESS i leave the menu and hover elsewhere on the page, but for example if i hovered around “SHOP BY” and then went to “NEW” the overlay doesn’t change HERE the figma file I don’t know what i did wrong so if you could check the file and leave me a note I’ll be thankful

Hi there, I’ve published a number of design systems with variable collections before. This is the first time I’ve run into this issue: I have a design library file. I have a primitive and semantic collection The primitive collection publishes with no issues. The semantic collection does not publish. When I check the “Publish Library” settings, this collection shows up under a list called “Hidden” and “These won’t be published” None of the variables have been selected to be hidden during publishing, nor does the collection name have any kind of prefix to mark it to be hidden. I’m at a loss here! Thanks!

Hey! I have been really missing this ‘‘free transform’’ feature for text in Figma. I know there are many plugins, but what i have tried so far it does not do the job for me. So please share your knowledge on this topic 🙂 Thank You!

Everyone else on my Team received Drafts to Move changes except for me, and I believe it’s beginning to cause account issues. When I make a new file using the + button from the tab bar, it has no file location and does not allow me to move it anywhere. I try to stay on top of organization for my team as a UX Lead, and not having the ability to rearrange files is a severe issue. What can I try to resolve this? Already reached out to customer support and their response was asking if they could manually help move my files which is not acceptable.

Hello community, I have issues on importing video into Figma prototype…can anyone help me? I am a Pro account user and I am unable to drag video into prototype. I tried the methods from other posts in forum, such as convert video to webm or clean the cache, none of them works for me and my deadline is very close, can you have a look on it? Same issues in this post: https://forum.figma.com/t/not-able-to-use-videos-in-my-figma-file/40182 Btw, I already submitted some requests to Figma and none of them is responded…I am very urgent and hope there will be a solution. Thanks!

I have the Figma<>Google Calendar extension installed, but when I try to ‘Log in with Figma’ while setting up or editing a Google Calendar meeting, but the button doesn’t do anything when clicked. It’s worked for me before and been very useful; if I recall correctly, it’s done this to me before, and I’m not sure what resolved it.

Hello, I have typed a sentence. How do I ask the application to generate the sentence diagram? When i press enter, it goes to the next line to type. I don’t see anything like submit or so. Thanks in advance

Hi All, I am using instance swap for some components, But I am facing the problem where the swapped instance does not inherit the color of the component, instead it is using the original color of the master component. Can anybody share some workaround for this problem?

Don’t make me think so hard! I’m busyyyy

Hey designers, is not possible get the responsive behaviour in the Present mode? Here you can see if i resize my frame inside design mode what happens but not on present mode resizing the window Tried a bunch but nothing really worked Appreciate any suggestion

Hi! I was wondering if anyone could help with this issue please? When I try to view a prototype in Full Screen, the graphics become blurry (I’ve attached an image of the problem). If it’s not in full screen, the graphics are perfectly fine. I’m encountering this problem in Chrome and in the Desktop App. I’m working on a 27-inch iMac 2020. I’ve checked my internet connection and checked my pixel preview is disabled. When I present prototypes to clients, it’s frustrating when the graphics appear so fuzzy. Is anyone else encountering this or know of a fix please? Thanks!

Hi, I have a mobile prototype version that works properly on my desktop/laptop. However, when I test it on a real mobile device, some random buttons and functions do not work. After refresh sometimes it works again sometimes not. Has anyone experienced this issue before? Do you have any suggestions for a solution? Thank you! This is quite urgent. 🙂

When I start the prototype, only some of the elements of the design show up. The rest is blank. How do I fix this?

Trying to resolve conflicts in a branch before merging, the conflicts are not loading and after some time the screen turns blank with the error showing ‘Figma ran into a problem’. Unable to merge a branch to main file. Need support?

Hello All, my organization want to subcribe Figma enterprise version, after click “contact sales” and fill my email and basic information for several days, still no sales people contact me. Is there any other channel to contact sales for this？ Thanks in advance.

Hi, just wanted to know why Figma collects the following information – in data privacy-speak, what is the purpose of collection: age of user/student year of graduation of user/student Our risk and compliance office will not let us use this on campus unless we get clarity on this matter. Thank you.

trying to add a distressed effect to text. I saw someone do it with creating a mask, but can’t quite figure it out.

Figma released a new update and now drafts are moved to teams? I’m not in a team what happened to my drafts and designs?

I’ve been asked to update the component library to support a brand redesign. Looking for resources (especially YouTube videos) on the quickest and easiest way to do this work. I could have sworn I saw a talk about this during ConFig, but I can’t recall now. Regardless, anything would help. Thanks!

Is there a way to do this? I only see an option to export to PDF.

I am planning to buy a MacBook. But cannot decide which one to buy between MacBook pro M2 or MacBook air m3 (both are the very basic 8g ram 13-inch model). The pro M2 has an active cooling so it may take more load without lagging the performance. Which one to buy?

Looking under the hood at Figma’s “Simple design system”, there’s a “Responsive” collection, with variables for “Root font size” and “Scale”… These look like they could be implementing a REM-based font-size approach - if the “Scale” variable could be used in variable calculations, which to my knowledge, it still cannot yet… I gather that “#Scale03” could be used to change the font size to a different scale variable depending on the mode selected (Desktop/Mobile/Tablet) - but it isn’t leveraging that “Scale” on the other hand looks like it could be a multiplier, so that (Example: a 16px font size in desktop would be 20px (16*1.25) on mobile… but I’m not sure what this is actually doing here… I haven’t fully watched all of Config24 sessions yet, so I apologise if this is a dumb question covered in any talks. Anyone know what this does? Thanks

I have a big presentation tomorrow but the prototype keeps glitching. My colleague is sitting next to me and buttons aren’t clickable on her prototype link unless I open the Figma file from my own laptop, then it works on her screen. What is this?

Figma Desktop App on macOS: Shortcut for Zoom-Out does not work correctly Somehow the shortcut to change the mouse into a zoom-out tool doesn’t work as expected anymore. For years, this important shortcut (exactly like in Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign) always was: • Zoom+ or zooming in: Space+Command plus mouse click • Zoom- or zooming out: Space+Command+Option plus mouse click To be more precise, the current situation is as follows: If you press Space+Command+Option, the mouse pointer turns into the zoom icon just for a very short moment, but does not stay that way. This means that you cannot zoom out as usual using a combination of shortcut and click. It feels like a bug and I hope that this will be fixed soon. Anybody else experiencing this faulty behaviour?

In the component, I want to open and close a certain area in the menu on each click? When I create a condition for it, I can provide this operation, but how can I use the animate properties? Or is it a wrong method?
