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

I took this action, but unfortunately, there was no result.

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

That’s cool! Thanks, @Nellya It works now!

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?
