The scrolling icon is stuck

Hi! I have a common problem, where the scrolling icon of my mouse gets “stuck” into that setting, but its behaving just like the normal mouse cursor icon, and it’s quite annoying. Am i doing something wrong or is it a bug? Sorry for my english, its hard to describe. Here’s the chatgpt version of it: “When I’m working on a Figma document, sometimes the mouse pointer changes from its classic shape to its scrolling shape (the four-directional wheel), but it doesn’t behave as expected. Instead, it retains the classic pointer behavior. When I use the mouse wheel and click it, it behaves as expected, but the icon doesn’t return to its normal state afterwards.” I’m uploading a literal screenshot

Figma Slides - External links in presentation mode are incorrect

I’m having an issue with external links in Figma Slides. In a slide I have an autolayout frame with many text buttons that should redirect to different links. Links are correct on the editor (every button has their link pasted in it), but when I go to the presentation mode and test I see that all the buttons lead to the same link, which is the first one of the set.

need help with updating the fixed value dynamically as the user scrolls through numbers.

I’m working on a component where users can select their weight or height by scrolling through a list of numbers. The picker should have a fixed value displayed at the top that updates in real-time as the user scrolls. I believe this might be achieved using local variables, but I’m not very familiar with how to set them up in Figma. I’m looking for guidance on how to prototype this interaction. I’ve added a photo to illustrate what I’m trying to create.

Devmode, overflow, dynamic positioning

If designers set up component in a way to dynamically increase the size of container and reflow content - does this translate into code?

Please improve the iOS Figma app

The app is quite buggy lately. While mirroring it disconnects, or the screen goes dark, then I have close the app sometimes or restart the prototype doesn’t work. Also, the app is rendering a light grey outline on elements that have a light grey background fill, its kind of annoying. I love your product but please fix these bugs, we rely a lot on how things look on app to make decisions.

Authoritatively identify external components

Hello, I’m trying to identify all the external components used and references to the same. Wondering what is the best mechanism for the same. For example, if I use MUI Table, how do I identify that component is referencing MUI library ? Here’s sample output from GET/v1/files/:key. It says remote but does not specify that it is from MUI component library. "components": { "2:3": { "key": "c10adc2d16831aa748af4c1d7be279059bd01e37", "name": "Small=False, Checkbox=False, Small Screen=False, Rows=5", "description": "", "remote": true, "componentSetId": "2:2", "documentationLinks": [] },

Instance text not editable

So I’ve come across a few instance-override-issues in the forum but I believe this one is new 😅 So, I’ve got a instance for my headlines and for some reason it doesn’t let me change it’s text. This worked until recently tho! Take a look, I believe it’s easier to understand that way: If I go to the master comp and copy and paste it it works just fine! Just when I copy the/one instance again it stops working… So I’ve got a work-around, but still it’s a bit annoying not being able to just copy the instance again but having to go to the master comp and copy it instead… Any suggestions why that is? 🙃 Thanks in advance to anyone 👍

Pick what overrides I want to reset with Plugin API

Is there a way to reset all overrides except ones that I select? For example, let’s say I want to swap in a new Button but I don’t want to reset the character property, I want to preserve what the user has typed in the label text layer. The only method I found in the Plugin API docs is the resetOverrides() does not take any argument. It would be super cool if I could pass in what I don’t want to change e.g. resetOverrides(!node.overrides.character) Here is my WIP code to swap out old components with new ones: // main.ts import { getSelectedInstances } from "../app/utils/getSelectedInstances"; // Adjust the path as necessary // Clear console on reload console.clear(); // Default plugin size const pluginFrameSize = { width: 320, height: 380, }; // Show plugin UI figma.showUI(__html__, pluginFrameSize); // Import the component map import { componentMap } from "../app/data"; // Adjust the path as necessary let componentCount = 0; // Function to swap button components async functio

Variables Web Code Syntax Bugs

I’m trying to make this simpler for developers to read in Dev Mode by using code syntax. When I write a custom web code syntax within a group, Dev Mode only displays my custom name without the value. I would like it to replace “group/variable-name/” with my custom name while retaining the value in each mode. What I expect to see is max-width: var(--max-w, 1328px); instead of max-width: max-w;. It works perfectly when I use Figma’s default name, but I don’t want developers to see my organization of variables in Dev Mode, as it’s irrelevant to both them and me. The only workaround is to avoid using groups in variables and rely on memory to remember what belongs to what or to create a new page for each group. Honestly, I don’t even want to see var(--max-w, but I understand I’m referencing another variable. Even so, I want to edit how that is displayed, as this information of how I’m referencing variables in Figma is unnecessary to our developers. Another issue is that when I assign a cu

Figma removed audio from uploaded mp4s

I work on a product that has a sound library that plays during specific interactions. I built a component with embeded mp4s that had audio in them so people could include sound in their prototypes to better mimic the product experience. I had it all set up and working for me locally at the end of my day today and shared it with my collegues only to get notes that no one could hear it. When I went back a few hours later to double check I found that it no longer worked for me. I checked the history and nothing changed between my work and when I checked back later. What changed? Did Figma re-encode my files, break my project, and REMOVE the sound?

My branch has both "no conflicts" and "resolve conflicts before merging" messages.

Hi. How are you? When I was trying to merge a branch, I ended up in this weird state where the merging modal was saying that I had “no conflicts” to resolve AND that I should “resolve conflicts before merging”, at the same time. The button to merge was disabled, and there were no actions I could do in the changes as well. The only way out I had, to not lose the changes in my branch (that had some variables as well), was to duplicate as a new file and delete the older one. To make things worse, this has happened again, twice in the last couple of weeks. My question is: Is this some known bug? Is there any clue on what I might be doing wrong to end up in this state? Thanks a lot,

Fix the shortcut preview for layering objects

I In Figma, the keyboard shortcuts for sending an item backward or forward are Ctrl + [ and Ctrl + ], respectively. Bringing items to the back or front is done using Ctrl + Shift + [ or Ctrl + Shift + ], respectively. However, the shortcut preview on the right-click panel doesn’t reflect this accurately. Figma, please check.

Figma making me update instances individually instead of pulling all library updates

When I make library updates, I not longer get the toast notifying me there are updates in files using the library. I have to discover them one by one and update each instance manually. Not sure why this changed, but it’s very time consuming and dangerous when I can’t rely on prototypes, etc. having the latest updates to components. UPDATE: now it seems to not be pushing updates at all. I’ve already tried repairing all component connections via the Quick Actions

What breaks a prototype link?

I’m having lots of issues with prototype links in Figma. I used to work on XD and it was way simpler (which is weird to say, I know). Anyway, I would like to understand what can possible break a prototype link that is shared with clients. For example, If I remove the flow starting point, will the link stop working? (it has happened to me, I think), if I change a frame name, if I rename a file, will these break the links? Basically, how can a shared prototype link be broken or changed so I avoid doing it. Thanks
