List numeration is not aligned with an autolayout

Hello, Might be an easy one but I can’t figure it out. Seems like list numeration from 10+ is going out of frame. Link Item #10 (10. Name) you can see that some part of the 1 is out of the frame and I can’t understand why.

Prototype | How to use on drag to move a kanban task to a different frame?

I’ve been trying to move a kanban object in one frame to another frame using the on drag prototype method. It looks like it just dissolves it because it’s moving into a new frame. Any suggestions on a work around for this? So far it seems like absolute positioning everything is my only way but that messes up other parts of my design.

How to stroke part of text within a paragraph of text?

Hello everyone, We need to stroke part of the text in a paragraph of text, but the prerequisite is that the text is not split. Is there a way to achieve this? The text is not split because we need to review the content of the copy through the api interface, so designers cannot be allowed to adjust the relevant copy too freely.

Can’t open Figma app on iPad - Sends me to browser

When I open the Figma app on ipad, it gives me a login page. I fill out the information, it sends me to my email for authentication, and then from there it sends me to Safari. If I go back to the Figma app, it remains on the screen that says “Check your inbox.” There doesn’t seem to get any way to get Figma to actually let me use the app. Is this an ongoing issue?

Componet variant editing

I cannot add the dropdown component to the calendar variant. Previously, when I worked with variants, I didn’t encounter such issues. I’ve tried ungrouping the inner layers, resetting the auto layout, detaching the dropdown component, and inserting it into the calendar variant, but none of these approaches have worked. Am I doing something wrong?

Screen Reader only working on Text & Images

Hi there Figma Community I am currently working on a project, where one of the clients is a blind woman. For this I was looking into the accessibility features from Figma and was delighted, that Figma itself works with general screen reader. I noticed now, that screen reader only works with texts & images, but as we are still in a very abstract phase of the prototyping process, we have a lot of things like “lines as stand in for text blocks” etc. As far as I can see, I can’t manually mark something as “read this element in a screen reader” so it would be able to “see” the element to be read out loud and read the title of a marked frame/shape/etc. Or does anyone know about an option that I didn’t realise is there? If there isn’t an option like this, it would be great to have something like this in the feature, as for now prototypes already need to be very hi-fi to actually be able to share with a blind person, which, in my opinion, is too late in the process to create the best solut

Helvetica Neue issue

I am working on a project with a team that is using Helvetica Neue. The team has sent the Helvetica files to me, though when I install it on my end it registers as HelveticaNeue. When I go into the figma design file it identifies font in the file and the font I have on my machine as two different fonts. The design file registers as Helvetica Neue(with a space) for the team and HelveticaNeue(no spaces) for my profile. I have tried renaming the files to match. Uninstalling and reinstalling the font. Tried on the browser and the desktop app, but no luck. Has anyone else experienced this? The team is all using macs, while I am on a windows device, not sure if that has anything to do with it. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Need your kind help with prototyping

Hi everyone! Not new to Figma, but for some reason the following melts my brain =) I’d appreciate your kind help on how to best prototype it. Variables are ok, I have a paid account. Here is the situation: a button with 3 states (default, hover, pressed). When hovered, it should go to “hover” state. This is easy. Now, when pressed, I need the button text to change. A becomes “grayed out” and B becomes “active”. The button should stay in this state until I press it again (A becomes “active” and B becomes “grayed out”). What are the optimal ways to prototype this? Thanks a lot!

Draft Files Disappeared After Leaving a Team

Dear Figma Support Team, I recently encountered an issue with my account. After I left a team that was created by another person, all my personal drafts disappeared. This includes drafts that were created both before I was added to the team and after. I’ve checked everywhere, including the “Recent” section and the trash, but I am unable to locate them. These files were very important to my work, and I hope you can help me recover them. Could you please assist in resolving this issue?

Get only user identity via OAuth

Hello friends, I noticed the only permission scope of Figma authentication via OAuth2 is “file_read”, but this is too much for me. In my circumstances, users are posting some data to my server inside the Figma plugin, for which I only have to get a valid user identity, not an access to their Figma files. I think it’s very similar to those “Sign in with Google/Facebook” buttons, does Figma provide something like this? A “Sign in with Figma” button?

The filled text property in the component flies off

If there is a master component that is inserted into another component. They have Base Text properties added to the component properties. If such a component is added to another component and switched via a variable, then the changed properties will stop working.

SVG Export Ignores Fully Masked Shapes

Currently the SVG export in Figma excludes any vector shapes that cannot be see due to a mask at the time of export. I understand why this was an intentional optimization and I don’t see a way to disable it, but because it is useful for a niche use of SVG graphics I’m working on I wanted to double check and see if anyone knew of a way to change this behavior or work around it. For example, Figma also excludes elements with a 0 width stroke or that are fully transparent, but that can be worked around by making a very small stroke or alpha (0.01). I can’t think of an equivalent solution for elements that are fully clipped by a mask.

Figma set White invisible in Fill after create a component

Problem: If I create a red rectangle from the color library and create a component from it, Figma automatically fills the fill in white and sets it to invisible even though I had previously set it to red. I have been working with Figma for 3 years, 5 days a week and more than 8 hours a day, this functionality is completely new and illogical to me. I have watched older YouTube videos where a component is created and you can see that this stupid feature was not there. Does anyone have any idea why Figma introduced this? It creates an extra step that is completely unnecessary by deleting the white and replacing it with the actual color.sting! Befor After

New UI3: Avoid detecting elements below sidebars when they are visible

Sorry for the quite awkward title, but, here is the thing … One of my Figma accounts the UI has been promoted to the new version. Yeah! Very cool UI, I’m so happy. I find it refreshing, functional and easy to switch my behaviors on. I think there is a small (but maybe not so small) issue with those sidebars. While the previous UI sidebars touched the window borders now they float within some pixels from the borders. I saw that Figma UI guys decided to apply some kind of blur behind those sidebars, like to say “hey, this space is not really available to you user, please drag or zoom out the canvas”. Cool, but … maybe you Figma guys forgot some situations in which elements hidden by the bars are still active and receiving events from the user. A couple of examples: if I drag a prototype connection the canvas starts to scroll when, while dragging, I reach the side of the window. This means that if there are some elements hidden behind the sidebar the connection will stick to them but I

Autolayout bug in nested components

I noticed a bug that has recently appeared sometime in the past two weeks dealing with autolayout and nested components. Our team uses master components so that we can push style changes to all variants quickly. It works great and helps keep things tidy. The only issue with this is that if you want a full-width component (for instance, a button you want to expand to the size of the mobile screen), you would normally have to take these steps: Drag a variant instance onto the frame Double click to go from the variant to the master button frame Change Resizing from “Hug Contents” to “Fill Container” Adjust the width of button width as necessary This has historically worked but now whenever these actions are done, trying to set any Resizing option automatically chooses Fixed Width. This breaks resizing nested components. You can view this process in the video below. I created a new master button and a small variant set, and then show how the base button width responds correct, but the va
