In some of my Figma files that are linked to our design system, while writing in Arabic using font tokens, after a while, the text disappears, and the only solution that solves this is to double-click on each and every text to make it appear again!

In a large file that is all in Arabic, it looks like the attached screen, and this solution is time-consuming, especially since it happens again the next day.

Attached are Arabic vs. English screens.

That’s a bug. Run Regenerate All Instances command

Then try Recompute text layout in selection command. Maybe this helps.

I’m running into this pretty consistently with Japanese text in components. The Regenerate All Instances worked for me but I am curious if there’s a more permanent fix coming in at some point?

 

I’ve added 2 exported frames to show what it’s supposed to look like and showing the bug. The exported asset, I think, shows exports are rendering the bug as seen on screen. I also have a screen recording that shows the text reappearing after being clicked into (only works if you have edit perms and a design seat). I can upload this but I’m not finding how to upload videos. Do we have to host and then link to them?
