Prototype - Fit Width not working on newer Macbook Air 13.6 inch

Hey there,

Thank you for your post. Just to clarify, are you not selecting any device? The “Fit width” option is only available if you are using a custom frame size without selecting a device. You can find more information here: https://help.figma.com/hc/en-us/articles/360040318013-Play-your-prototypes#h_01HER6XXFTAK565E14WGYEM4T4

I have this issue also. It’s very annoying.

I cannot adjust the size of the frame or group for anything. On Windows, I can adjust with a drag of the mouse on the selection box OR adjusting with the W on the Design panel.

However, on a Mac if I use the selection box it does nothing and if I use W on the Design panel, my cursor locks up with a double arrow cursor that stays on the screen.

Could you share a screen recording so we can understand what’s happening on your Mac environment? I can’t reproduce the behavior on my end.

Thanks,
Toku

Has anyone figured out a solution to this problem? At my company, we launch a lot of user tests every week and desktop prototypes will no longer fit the user’s screen despite selecting “fit width” as the scaling option. For example, if the design is 1440 and we have a user with a 4k monitor, they will get massive black bars on each side. When running our prototypes through Axure, we never have this issue as the Axure scaling will properly stretch the prototype to fill the user’s screen. Any ideas how to resolve this issue in Figma? Here is a partial screenshot to show the issue (I did not want to reveal all of the contents since it is from an unreleased design). The design being used also has a properly defined height which should make scaling work even better.

It's a big issue for me, too. I think Figma destroyed these features while they were “fixing things that aren’t broken last time” It worked perfectly well some time ago. When are you guys going to fix this?

Oh, brilliant move by the devs! They totally didn’t just remove scaling when the frame is smaller than your screen resolution by accident. No, no—this was obviously a strategic decision to make Figma’s UX just that much worse, so users have something to complain about. Genius! And if you dare to scale your frame? Oh, of course! You now have to manually make it bigger than your screen resolution. Because that’s exactly what every designer dreams of—extra steps for no reason. Bravo! 👏
