Hi everyone,Has anyone else encountered problems with long blank text copy paste? Sometimes copying large blocks of empty space from documents or webpages seems harmless, but pasting them into forums, chats, or editors can cause issues.It can take up unexpected space, slow down scrolling, or even crash certain apps. I’ve tried stripping formatting or using plain text tools, yet long blank text copy paste still creates headaches with very large blanks. Curious if others have a reliable method to handle it without manually deleting hundreds of empty lines.

I have been working on this new website project. I am using the smart animate feature in several places. Whenever I click to trigger the animation, the screen scrolls up for the amount of time set for the animation. If I set 100ms, then for that time, I am scrolled to the top of the website screen and scrolled back again. I miss my element being animated. The only thing I see is a quick glimpse of the header section of the website. I have tried to restart my Mac, restart Figma, and open my file in the browser version. I even tried to clean up the cache and nothing seems to help. I tried to use “instant” in animate, it is working fine. I have no idea of how to fix this problem.

I use a Lenovo tablet with Android OS, and I use figma with de chrome app, when i hover onto the workstation of figma my cursor suddenly changes size and i can’t find a way to change it. Had enyone have this problem before? 

I have connected ChatGPT and Figma and it drew a nice designs, but after edit number 5 it stopped and now ChatGPT falls back to standard image generation, saying that “You've reached the Figma MCP tool call limit for your View seat on the Professional plan”. Where can I see and track these credits? How to add them? How to optimize them so that on Pro plan I do not get this after 5 prompts?

Figma doesn’t allow you to bind variables at the component source level, and you can bind only at the instance. This breaks down in real use cases where components require unique variant configurations that can’t be predetermined at the variable level. That limitation makes modes ineffective for true desktop-to-mobile automation. In such cases, you need to change the variant and change the mode to get a true platform conversion. Is there a suggested workaround?

I’m not able to connect Free Figma Account with Free cluade account in browser. Can anyone help me to solve the problem?

Hello, I have submitted my plugin almost 4 weeks ago still it is in pending and I also got ‘Update: Lokum: AI Design Review follows data security best practices’ email but still in review.Is this normal?My plugin https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/1623800599793273567

Hey Figma community 👋I'm visualizing 7 levels of customer journey design (think: intent → execution, each level building on the last). Right now it lives in a horizontal format and it's... a lot of scrolling. Not ideal for stakeholders trying to actually absorb it.To be clear — this isn't an interactive prototype. It's a static design artifact that needs to communicate layered complexity clearly and beautifully.Here's my challenge:• 7 distinct levels, each with a name, focus, definition, and output• They're sequential AND interdependent• I want people to grasp the full picture AND be able to zoom into a single levelIdeas I've been considering:• Accordion-style sections within a frame• Nested frames or expandable component cards• A radial/layered diagram instead of a linear table• Progressive disclosure using overlapping cardsHas anyone tackled multi-level frameworks in Figma in a way that f

screenshot from Figma standalone appHi all, I’ve been attempting to learn Figma on my own for a year or more. I’m still stumped when it comes to how to tell my developer about padding and margin and special characters. I’d like the dev to use the … ellipsis special character but the best I could do in Figma is to tighten the letterspacing of three period characters, and leave a comment on the board. I’ve read here on the forums that designers are unable to communicate margin without an invisible spacer box?I have laid out this tiny card view which could show up as a card on its own, or have a active state with the yellow highlight ring, or have a photo under it. For now, I’ve turned the card alone into a component. I stretched the text box of the number id 593052… to touch the blue border  and added 4px paragraph

After creating an asset in Figma Buzz, I export it to PDF. However, when the asset opens in Adobe Reader, the name of the asset matches the Figma name, which I use an internal naming scheme for.I don’t want to email an asset with an internal name that’ll be visible to customers.But, I can’t seem to discover how to avoid this without having to do a separate step post-export.So, QUESTION: is there a way to control the display title of the PDF export without having to change my internal naming convention?

Hello everybody,Using figma slide for presentation since couple of months, I just realise that figma slide is darkening the videos (of like 1 stop). Is there any way to fix / prevent this behaviour?Thanks a lot !

Help! I’m the first designer in the company for 2 years and the Figma files are all over the shop. I’m logged in as the finance woman, and have created my own work email. But how do I get access to the work files with my new Figma email?Also, and more importantly, all the files are now ‘locked’. They were editable on Friday. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi guys, I subscribed to figma not because I just wanted to use Figma Make. I thought the AI worked for designs as well, just like https:sleek.design, but unfortunately for me, what is made, can’t be edited on Figma Design. How do I cancel this subscribtion. It’s been taking almost £22 from my account monthly - no matter what I do.Many thanks.Abe

Hi there! I discovered slots are now in open beta and I'm really excited to get started with it. However, in my design system I previously used the Slot Editor plugin. How I'm looking into how to migrate that. I've checked the migration docs Figma offers but I don't think it applied to my use case.For example, we have a fold component which structurally looks something like this:in which the "Con

Hello. Macbook Air resolution is 2880. The size of the layout in the Figma app is 1920. If I zoom to 100%, the layout doesn't fit completely on the screen, is that supposed to be the case? Thanks

Hello Figma Team,I would like to request a refund for a Dev seat that I purchased by mistake earlier today.Details:- Account email: [redacted by moderator to remove personal information]- Plan: Dev seat (Professional plan)- Purchase date: 26/4/2026I misunderstood how Dev seats work across teams/projects. After purchasing, I realized that this seat cannot be used for the project I actually need access to, so the purchase is not useful for my use case.The purchase was made very recently, and I have not meaningfully used the Dev seat.I would really appreciate your help in processing a refund for this transaction. Then I will request my team leader own his workspace to purchase again dev seat.Please let me know if you need any additional information.Thank you very much for your support.Best regards,  Nam

Hello tout le monde,Je suis entrain de créer un site par le support figma design et non figma site parce que les fonctionnalités sont plus intéressantes et diverses. Problème je voudrais le publier maintenant et en cherchant il fallait utiliser figma site, est-ce-que quelqu'un a la solution afin que je puisse le publier à partir de mon fichier figma design ?Merci ;) 

We have these two variations to support hover interactions. When the text is changed while using this component upon changing to the hover variant the underline text styling is not getting applied. Also, Figma stopped supporting changing the text styling on the linked text labels. This has become very painful for us in alot of our components text properties were linked to keep it the same across various variants but their styling were changing which now can’t happen.Is this a bug..? 

Hi everyone,The plugin PPTX to Figma Pro was submitted for review on March 31, 2026, and its status still shows “In review” with no updates or feedback received yet.This plugin is designed to help users import PPTX files into Figma while preserving layout, text, and styling details accurately. I’ve confirmed the plugin complies with all Figma plugin review guidelines, but I’m unsure if there is a delay in the process or any additional information needed from my side.If there is anything I need to adjust or submit, or if you could share an update on the current review timeline, I would greatly appreciate your assistance. Thank you so much for your time and support!

Hi guys, I’m experiencing very annoying Coil Whine from my PC Desktop whenever Figma animations are active. I do not hear this when watching YouTube videos, or when playing large Movie files (eg; 4K 60gb .MKV’s using VLC). Appreciate this question maybe a specific PC/GPU/Power Management issue, but hoping somebody in the Figma community has also experienced this, and may know a solution. It’s very distracting when trying to work, and this is on a relatively new and powerful PC system (Intel i9 14900KF, RTX 4080 Super, 64GB DDR5 Ram, Win 11). Thanks in advance 🙇
