Question

Why force the "Floating Toolbar"?

You (Figma) gave us the option to revert to UI2 if we didn’t like the floating toolbar, and now you’re telling us that you’re forcing us to use UI3. This is incredibly frustrating. The floating toolbar at the bottom of the screen is distracting and counterintuitive. This strikes me as a decision that was made with little to no user testing. The vast majority of all design apps have the tools at the top, or at the VERY LEAST give the user the option to move the toolbars around. Be better, Figma.

    Amen to this comment. 
    It drives me crazy. 
    It’s also blocked my my laptop screen.

    I’d been looking for expandable palettes for ages. 
    It seems like Figma have fixed one UX issue and created another...
