I can't change the text style

Previously, such a problem was not observed, now it is in the team files and in team projects. When I change the font to any other font inside the created style, it does not change automatically for the entire text to which we apply the style either in the project or within a single page. It also becomes impossible to change the style if you replace it with another style and try to return the old one. As a result, you have to change the fonts manually or click on each text block individually for the changes to take effect

Bug Report: Setting Min Width on a bunch of instances inside a wrapped auto-layout

These are the steps: Get a dozen identical instances in an auto-layout, set to wrap. Set the container to a fixed width, e.g. 600px Select all instances inside, and set the width to Fill. Notice how they are squeezed in. Set a min width to 200px. EXPECTED: Each component has a min width set to 200px. RESULT: Mixed results, with some components correctly set to 200px, while others get various random min width values. Figma file here, with a video recording included https://www.figma.com/design/hXN8wjijtxpsZW3jMWcKpS/Figma-Bug-Report%3A-Setting-Min-Width-on-a-bunch-of-instances-inside-a-wrapped-auto-layout?node-id=0-1&t=SI4sdjzvHe18LR1v-1

Is there any button for retry Figma license payment?

Is there a way to retry a failed Figma payment without waiting for the next business day or changing my payment method? My payment failed because there wasn’t enough money in my account at the time. I was wondering if there’s a “Retry Payment” option available for manually forcing the payment to go through.

Missing fonts when I have all the fonts installed

I’ve seen other posts about this issue but nothing seems to help or work. I keep getting Missing font icon in the Figma app (not browser) for fonts I already use in other Figma files (that do not show the same missing font) and that I have installed on my Mac. Also when opening the missing font dialogue window there is no option to ‘replace the fonts’. This is an example of a simple ‘Arial’ font which is installed and used across many apps on my Mac. It just says ‘close’ but no option to replace. Thanks

Desktop application does not work

Figma ran into a problem Our team is looking into it now. If refreshing the page doesn’t work, check our status page for updates. This is exactly what I see after I have been diligent for two days now, I can’t go to the wrong place from the documents At the same time, I can access Figma through a browser, but I need it through applications. I tried everything, restarted the computer and cleaned the Figma and re-logged in, nothing helps. How can I activate Figma on the application?

Element positioning issue: Designs without Auto-layout

I’m working on a plugin to generate HTML and CSS from Figma designs. I am facing a positioning issue while generating CSS from the designs without auto-layout. While Figma’s auto-layout designs provide CSS properties like flex properties, so it’s easy to make the design responsive in that case. But, designs without auto-layout do not have those css properties. Is there a way to identify layout direction (vertical or horizontal) and spacing between elements in designs without auto-layout?

Delay in animation

I’ve created a breadcrumb component with hover animation in Figma, available in both light and dark modes. Instead of borders, I’ve used shadow rings. The animation is set to Smart Animate > Gentle > 400ms. In light mode, the hover effect works as expected, but in dark mode, there’s a noticeable delay—first, the background changes, and then the shadow ring appears. Could this be a bug? Link to the issue: Figma Shadow Bug.mov - Google Drive

Why icon instances are not preserving overrides only when I'm consuming them from a library?

So, I’ve created some icons using variants. It looks like this: (How the layers are organized, the Icon layer is an Union) (Properties of each icon) Then, I created a button component with different sizes and states using a placeholder icon: When I create an instance of the button in the same file (local component), I can swap the icon in the button and it preserves the icon properties: (In this case, the properties were: Small, Filled) But, when I use the same component in another file (now consuming from the original file, as a library), I can’t do the same: (The icon properties got resetted) Am I doing something wrong? Why the different behaviors when instancing inside the file and outside of it?

Figma desktop notifications on macOS

I’m not receiving system notifications on macOS using the desktop app, despite having this enabled in the app settings. I tried reinstalling and nothing happened. Figma never ask system permissions to show notifications, thus there’s nothing I can enable on macOS settings. Does anyone know what could I try? (besides reinstalling, which I have already done).

How to edit a photo on an iPhone?

In Photos, tap a photo or video thumbnail to view it in full screen. Tap Edit, then swipe left under the photo to view the effects you can edit such as Exposure, Brilliance, Highlights, and Shadows. Tap the effect you want to edit, then drag the slider to make precise adjustments.

Why doesn't Figma use Lexical instead of draft-js for comments?

I found that when adding comments in the canvas by looking at the DOM structure, the input box structure is the same as draft-js. However, draft-js has been archived and is no longer maintained for two years. Why not replace it? I’m curious if there is a reason?

Wierd Bug: Shaky Prototype Animation

Hi guys, has anyone encountered this weird bug in Figma? Basically, each frame kind of shakes before animating to the next frame in Figma (if I keep it ‘fit to screen’ prototype). Video link: Shaky Prototype Animation - Album on Imgur it’s very smooth (if I keep it ‘Actual size’ prototype). Video link: Imgur: The magic of the Internet. But if I keep ‘Actual Size’ then I won’t be able to show the whole frame on the screen as it’s portrait. It’s so annoying. I have created tons of animation and now I can’t present it properly because of this shakiness!!! Any help would be great. Thanks.

Prototype video doesn't play on devices

Hi guys, What is the reason my prototype video doesn’t play on different devices? The video is in MP4 format and is of the proper size. I have a Xiaomi 11, and it plays perfectly on it in Chrome. However, the same prototype doesn’t start the video on the Sony Xperia 10 in Chrome; it starts in Mozilla, but there it is broken and distorted. Please, help!

How do I add a 'mailto' link to figma prototype?

Hi all, I am working on my portfolio and want to add external links to some parts of it. For the most part, I figured out how to do it. However, I couldn’t find any resource on how to add a ‘mailto’ link to the prototype. I’d appreciate it if someone who has done it before could lead me the way. Thanks!

I have a canvas set at auto-layout with Hug Content (this makes it easy to add elements without re adjusting the canvas height) but I cannot set fixed scrolling within the child elements

I have a canvas set at auto-layout with Hug Content (this makes it easy to add elements without re adjusting the canvas height) but I cannot set fixed scrolling within the child elements ex: status bar and fixed buttons. Is this something not yet available in Figma — I don’t want to set child elements to absolute positioning because it will lose the structure I have set at the “Canvas/Artboard” level…

Variable font styles suddenly not using the correct font weights

Hi, We’re experiencing issues with variable fonts suddenly switching to non-variable weights (example: from 550 to Regular) without anyone touching it. This has happened when: Multiple users are editing the same file Multiple users are viewing the same file, but no-one is editing There is only one user in the file As this has happened with several different fonts on several of our projects, is this a bug that has happened to anyone else?

Component instances are not getting "fill" property inherited from main parent component

I’m trying to use Figma auto layout wrap with components inside. I set the parent component width to have a fill property and set min-width and max-width values but the instances of the parent component are not inheriting the “fill container” property. Due to this minor issue I have to manually select every instance ( children components ) within auto layout and set the width to fill. Then it works. Why do I have to do this? why can’t I inherit the “fill container” from parent component?

Can we please add prototyping information in REST API responses?

This has been requested multiple times and I think it’s fairly obvious why; sending prototyping information in the response for a file’s structure would enable developers to create far more dynamic and interactive applications. transitionNodeID, transitionDuration, and transitionEasing are really not enough in the majority of cases where people need a representation of a node’s prototyping information. Below are some excerpts from the threads people have made in the past requesting this feature. “The company I work for develops a low-code platform that facilitates the creation of cross-platform apps (Android, iOS, Web) … I’m particularly interested in expressions, actions, and conditionals because they allow us to incorporate the programmed logic from the design file directly into the source code of the final application” Get Variables expressions, actions and conditions via REST API “SO my question is are there plans to include the prototyping information in the REST API?” “This pi

Difference in font sizes between Figma and Word

I am working with a client that generates customized Word Documents for their customers after filling out a survey. I created a mockup using the “Letter” frame and sent it over to the developers along with a text style guide. When the first report was compiled using the exact same font files and sizes I used in Figma, they take up way more space in the document in Word. Does anybody know where the issue might lie and how to go about converting the font sizes correctly?

I’m wondering how I can make each row have the same icons in it. At the moment I can’t seem to find a artay to make it so tha icons are all lined up. I.e everything should be a house to begin with here. I’ve tried: Using min-width Duplicating the icon set, but this intefers with variants. Any help appreciated.
