Hello, I can’t log into the Figma app. Writes to log in from the browser. I go to my account, and in the browser it says: “Your login session has expired. Try again on the desktop app " btn: “Open the desktop app” I open the application, and there again it says: “Login in with browser”

There is an issue with the styleOverrideTable when the override is a default text style value, it does not express the override back to the default value. For example, if the entire text node is underlined, but one character is overridden to not be underlined, the expected behavior of the styleOverrideTable would be that character has {textCase: “ORIGINAL”} but instead we get back an empty object {}. Here is an example that illustrates the problem: Figma – 19 Jun 24 And the JSON we get from the REST API: "characters": "FAQs", "style": { "fontFamily": "Rubik", "fontPostScriptName": "Rubik-Medium", "fontWeight": 500, "textCase": "UPPER", "textAutoResize": "WIDTH_AND_HEIGHT", "textDecoration": "UNDERLINE", "fontSize": 12, "textAlignHorizontal": "RIGHT", "textAlignVertical": "TOP", "letterSpacing": 0.24, "lineHeightPx": 14.219999313354492, "lineHeightPercent": 100, "lineHeightUnit": "INTRINSIC_%" }, "layoutVersion": 0, "characterStyleOverrides": [ 2, 78, 79

Has anyone used the new feature Visual search (Search for similar) in Figma? Matching results seems a bit confusing since I don’t know they match with what part. For example like the demo in Figma guide, other results seem not relevant except the first one. I also tried and sometimes the results don’t match at all. So what are the results based on actually and how it works?

Is there any way to get the value of the pressed key, to use in an expression? If this were possible, it would be easy to use variables to set the value of a text input dynamically, using an expression 'On Key/GamePad, set variable {fieldvalue} to {fieldvalue} + {key pressed}. Or a slightly more complex expression to deal with backspace. Therefore creating typeable form inputs, something that has been requested for a long time. This seems like something that would be relatively simple to add, if not currently available?

Hey there everyone, how to explain this as simply as possible… I created a text field with a label frame. The label text is 16px line height and it’s in a Frame with Auto layout applied to a fixed height of 16px. In my library, the default and expanded label heights are 16px. When I publish it, the default label height is 16px. When I swap to the expanded variable, the label height grows to 28px, and the height is greyed out in the frame panel. Is there any explanation for this? It’s throwing my animation and designs off pretty badly since it’s such a core variable. Thanks in advance!

Hey, so I have a problem, where sometimes the smart animation just jiggles a bit without any reason (at least, not that I know of) Here is a little example: The size and position of the toolbar-component are precisely equal I use a push animation with “smart animate matching layers” checked, but I have also noticed this behaviour with the normal smart animate What is the reason for this and can I prevent that from happening?

Currently the setting ‘who can create teams’ can only be set to ‘anyone’ or ‘organization admins only’. I think team creation is something that can also be delegated to workspace admins. Is that something you can add?

Hi Team, I recently sent an email regarding the invoice issue to Figma support team. (Ticket #1055867) But didn’t receive any response till now. Can you look into it asap as it is bit urgent. My Project file editing is locked and I need it to be resolved as quickly as possible. Thanks

Is there a method for setting/assigning a range of text to a variable? I noticed that even the setRangeBoundVariable(start, end, type, variableId) doesn’t support “color” for the type. Something like: figma.currentPage.selection[0].setRangeBoundVariable(0, 5, 'color', 'VariableID:313:879') Which would then apply that variable to text characters 0-5.

I need to display characters in the Khmer language but when I paste them in a text box the box gets bigger but the characters do not appear. I have installed the Figma agent and that has made my desktop fonts available in Figma. I have no trouble with Arabic and Bengali. I want to display មោទនភាព How can I make this work? Thanks, Jim

Hi. I tried to install Figma on a new pc. First time, c++ installer appeared. I installed it but then – nothing. Now, after double click on Figma instller, cmd appears for like 1-2 sec. Then dissapears and nothing happens anymore. For now i tried restarting the pc but it won’t help. Any ideas?

The black top toolbar does not appear for me. How can I solve this?

This is usually noticeable at larger font sizes. I contacted support more than half a year ago, but there is still no change. What is the problem (image 1): This example shows the text layer. The font size is large, but the size of the text layer itself should allow the word “Athena” to be highlighted in the frame below. Also, the text itself (which is above the frame) is not on top of the frame and does not interfere in any way with selecting the item I want. But that’s just the way it looks. There is no way to actually select it. Not even by pressing Ctrl/Command. In this situation I can select the word “Athena” in 3 ways: By moving the layer with large text, which overlaps the layer I need (although visually I can’t see it). By finding the layer I need in the Layers panel. By moving the layer that prevents me from selecting the layer I want back. This is inconvenient and confusing for me as a user. And here’s the problem (image 2). But you can only understand it by selecting the t

Constraints are now not visible. Now you need to do an additional action to open the Constraints window. Why make it more complicated?

I am new to JS. Im trying to implement an API call to openai, and using: import OpenAI from “openai”. tsconfig: “compilerOptions”: { “target”: “es6”, “lib”: [ “es6” ], Any help with setting the right target?

Design Consistency: Figma ensures design consistency across different screen sizes and resolutions, crucial for Android’s fragmented device ecosystem. Designers can create responsive layouts and adaptive components that adapt seamlessly to various Android devices. Collaborative Workflows: Teams can collaborate seamlessly between designers using Figma and developers working on Android applications. Changes made in Figma reflect instantly, enabling developers to implement design updates efficiently without discrepancies. Prototyping and Iteration: Figma’s prototyping features allow designers to create interactive prototypes that simulate the app’s functionality. This helps in gathering feedback early in the development process, iterating on designs, and refining user experiences before implementation on Android. Asset Management: Figma serves as a centralized repository for design assets, from icons and illustrations to UI components. Developers can easily access and integrate these ass

I have a problem with creating more menu. I have created but its not functioning properly, please some one help me on this. i have attached an image.

Hi there, I am looking for a solution to create a double sticky navigation. The first navigation should be sticky and the second navigation should scroll until it touches the first navigation. Is there any way to do that in Figma? Saw a tutorial about this but it involved absolute positioning which seems to be gone in the most recent version. Thanks in advance!

Hi, I have a single seat paid professional subscription with Figma. However, there’s no variable hexagons in my right panel in one of my files. I can create variables in the Local Variable panel. It’s just I don’t see any hexagons to assign them to. Can anyone help? Thanks.

Dear Figma Support Team, I hope you are doing well. I am writing to inform you that my Figma account has been locked, and I have received a message indicating that my payment has increased to USD 35.40, whereas it was previously USD 17.70. This issue is causing significant disruptions to my work, and I would appreciate your help in resolving it. Here are the details of my account and payment: [redacted by moderators] I am unsure why my account has been locked and why there has been an unexpected increase in the payment amount. Please look into this matter at your earliest convenience and let me know what steps need to be taken to restore my access and address the payment discrepancy. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue. I look forward to your swift response. Best regards, Amrinder Gill

Now there is an additional action to be taken: When I want to change the size of the text area, I now have to first click on the “Auto height” tab and only then enter the required value in the corresponding field. Previously it was possible to do it just by clicking on the input field, even if the text area was in “Auto width” mode. Why was this done? Imagine how many times a day you have to do these additional operations now.

Hi, Sorry, if this is already discussed in some form here - couldn’t find anything about it. I have a client, to whom I would like to pass on the design file, but it seems that the only way to do this, is to give them ‘edit’ rights – becoming a part of my team, that I have to pay for one month membership (seat) – and then, under their Figma workspace ‘recents’, move the design file to their teams space. It feel like a hack approach and the payment is totally unnecessary step, as the client will just need the file to be ‘moved’ to their team, nothing else. Doesn’t seem to be fair to be charged for this by Figma. I might do something wrong here, but searching around, this seemed to be the only way. I’m sure there are other freelancers, who have had something similar. Is there a better, charge-free, alternative to this? Thank you! 🙏

Let’s say you want to update all the color styles in a shared design system library that looks something like this: Primary-Blue-1 Primary-Blue-… Primary-Blue-10 Secondary-Green-1 Secondary-Green-… Secondary-Green-10 Neutral-Gray-1 Neutral-Gray-… Neutral-Gray-10 Etc… You now want to update the color values for the above, and you have the new values as local styles. The local styles may be named differently. Let’s say for example: NewBrandBlue-Lightest NewBrandBlue-… NewBrandBlue-Darkest NewBrandGreen-Lightest NewBrandGreen-… NewBrandGreen-Darkest … and so on. We all know how cumbersome it is to manually edit many color styles in Figma without plugins, but I haven’t yet found a plugin that would make this process easier either. Anyone have any recommendations on a process and/or plugin that would make this a bit easier? I was imagining the following process for example: Use a plugin to batch rename the local styles (that have the new color values) to somehow match the names of the des

I have some Adobe fonts correctly installed to my system through creative cloud and I’ve installed them manually too, but when I open up Figma I’m still seeing that one I need to use shows up as missing. I did see that some are showing up correctly through the Installed by Me. What else can I do to ensure it is working correctly?

Hi im trying to make a fantasy football UI design like fantasy premier league and i am trying to work out how to create the prototyping for substitutions however if i was to make a new frame for each different combination for each different formation possible i would need to create thousands of frames is there a chance that anyone can tell me if there is an easier way to prototype this kind of function
