Hi there, I’m having trouble figuring out how to apply a variable to the Auto Layout vertical gap. The variable icon is missing, and I’ve tried right-clicking but haven’t found anything.

Wrap in a section not available in new UI3

When I try to wrap in a section multiple elements selected, that option is not available anymore in the new UI3, to do so, I need to execute the Cmd+K command and write “Wrap in a section” to see it available.

Can't find a way to add a URL link in the new editor

I can’t find a way to add a URL link in the new editor - where did it go? In the legacy experience, the icon to add a link was at the top of the page but I cannot find it in the new editor.

Nested component navigation interaction not working in screens on another page

I have a project with Prototype screens on one page, and components on another screen. Within the components screen, I’ve a dropdown component with two variants - open & closed. This is then placed within another “table” component with several variants on that page - with the previous component nested at the end of each row. The table component is then being pulled into different screens within the ‘Protytype’ page of the project - with variables determining which table variant appears. What I want and can’t seem to do is determine which screen a user goes to, when they click the dropdown items in each row (which is essentially a nested component on a separate page. How would I accomplish this? I don’t see a way to use variables within the navigate option. Nor do I see a way to pass that click through to the page, from a component on a separate page. I tried to circumvent it by using “open link” with ‘new tab’ unchecked and sending the user to the link of that page on a prototype,

Figma's UI Suddenly Resized and Won't Return To Normal

I was working on a design file, when all the sudden the UI itself scaled itself to be larger than normal. I don’t know what I did, but I want it to go back to normal. I tried a bunch of different things and they all did not work. This is what it looks like: This is what it looks like as the default now, like when I would open a design file. This goes for all the design files I open too. Anyone know how to fix this issue?

Cannot change text font-weight inside instances

Hey there, lovely community! I’ve noticed something quite frustrating since the recent Figma updates, and I’m wondering if anyone else has encountered it too. I seem to be unable to change the font-weight for text inside instances. It always sets to the one that other text has. Changing text font-weight is only working for text that’s not within a component. If anyone else is experiencing this issue, I’d love to hear how you’re managing or if you’ve found any workarounds. If there is a similar issue somewhere, pardon me. I haven’t found it yet. Thanks a bunch!

Comments editor unavailable suddenly?

Hello, I didn’t see anything about this in my search. I’ve been using the comments on Figma for a while now, and suddenly today I can’t respond to someone on my team who commented on files she edited. Is there a reason why it suddenly says “comments editor unvailable” all of a sudden? It won’t let me type a reply to her comment like I was able to do before. It also wont let me create a comment, whereas I was able to do so before. Can someone let me know whats happening, and how to fix it? Thank you

Arc tool on elipse

Hello I am new to Figma, I am trying to use arc tool on an elipse. But I cannot catch the arch point inside the elipse to drag the arc point to create curve on my elipse. Because when I mouse over the elipse, the arc point in the elipse shows and the cursor of my mouse turns into arch (little arrow) to show me that it is ready to arc. but when I move my mouse the cursor changes to size tool. As a result I only manage to either increase or reduce the size of the elipse but not arching the elipse. I even downloaded a arc pluging from Figma but I am still having the same issue. Can you please help.

(devs) How do you handle icon libraries?

Trying to figure out the best way to code out custom icon libraries after hand off. Anyone have a nice starter for this. I love the footprint of packages like Lucide, and I’ve tried pulling their code apart but they have a lot of moving pieces.

Windows - issue with the system theme

Not sure if it’s the same issue here but since today I’m having the same issue; I’ve had the theme set to “system theme” and started it up today with all white theme but a dark top menu bar (and accordingly dark menus; see screenshot: I’ve tried clearing the cache and also switching between the dark, light and system theme with closing and opening the app in-between to no avail. Also, what I found was that since today I belive the tabs look different for me I believe? This is how they looked before (here in dark mode): So might be connected in this case; some form of update breaking this? 🤔

Significant performance drops while working with nested components and design systems

Greetings! I’d like to report issues with Figma’s performance when working with both components and prototypes. I’ve got multiple files with a descent amount of frames and quite a lot of nested components. I’ve tried splitting everything into multiple files, I’m using variables/properties, but even with those techniques as soon as I update a single line of text in a component everything lags like there’s no tomorrow. From what I can gather, the lagging occurs as Figma is trying to update all component instances. I’ve tried splitting the design system into various files as I mentioned, so that it doesn’t have to update everything at once, but it still struggles a lot and for a second (…or ten. Or more.) the file becomes virtually unworkable. It even shows the cloud icon saying the file has unsaved changes, despite my connection being solid. The thing is… it’s not the delay when it’s updating instances that’s bothering me. It’s the fact that any changes are synched rightaway, which makes
