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

On Click in Variant does NOT navigate to Frame

I have a situation where I have created a component (modal) that I pop using “open overlay”. When I attempt to close the modal variant and navigate to another frame on my page, it does not allow me to. This is causing a lot of frustration as it used to be so easy.

Any fixes for why Figma keeps showing me as offline

Hello, I am a long time user of Figma and I use the tool at work everyday. I have noticed that when I am working in my desktop browser or in the application it shows me as offline. What normally happens is I will be in a file and working on the desktop application notice that it is displaying as offline and then I will copy the link to file and open it up in my desktop browser to try and work from there. Sometimes it works but I have noticed that both are showing as offline. Plus, I have the fastest internet possible and it is not a internet issue. I am wondering how to resolve this problem? I also recently updated the app?

FigJam Copy & Paste Fix

Whenever I paste something in a FigJam file or paste to replace an element, the software makes the element jump a bit, either to the left or right. I only want to replace that element and have the new one in the same place. This leads to me copying and pasting a different tag I’ve created to use on my sitemap, only to see it jumping to the sides and being misaligned with my other elements. This is time-consuming and frustrating to the user.

Interaction that links to another page and scrolls to a specific position

Hello everyone! 🙂 I’m still quite new to Figma, I’ve taken a course and am still learning. I’ve searched through other tasks but haven’t found an answer to my question. Here’s what I’d like to do: When I’m on a page and select an item, I want to create an interaction that takes me to another page and scrolls to a specific position that I choose. Please note, I’m using the free version of Figma. I’m leaving a small diagram that explains what I’m trying to achieve. Thank you in advance to anyone who can help me!

"Sorry, you don't have access" error, when trying to access a link

I am working in Figma professional, and I have shared a link of a prototype with some people that are not members of Figma. Some can open the link and view my prototype with great success, few of them can’t, they get the following message: “Sorry, you don’t have access”. And she then can “Request an access”. Why is there a difference? All of them are equal, none of them have Figma accounts, or are a part of team/project.

Why REST API is so slow compare to network request from Figma application

Hi Figma, REST API is useful and powerful but the speed of it is slow compare to Figma App. Could you fix or improve it? Thanks a lot! Figma App：seconds to show all nodes REST API：much slower than Figma App, may be 5 ~ 20s and more… to get only one node

Nested components dont correctly resolve props value

I am encountering a weird behavior, where child components sometimes resolve the wrong value for a field mapped from their respective child properties. Still, the actual child property has been switched. Example: I have a component that looks like this: The Aa in the upper box is an Icon that is part of a larger Iconography component, which in turn has all sorts of props like size and color. When the Icon is white, it is called “light-vivid” and maps to the “Icon/Light/Vivid” variable. This works everywhere perfectly fine, just in this component, when switching props in the parent (like making the menu left or right for example), the icon’s color gets wrongly mapped to the default color “Icon/Dark/Vivid”. However, the child property is still “light-vivid”: The props: Any Idea why this might happen? Best Sam

Edit Access Issue with Figma Dev Mode for Professional Plan

Post 31 Jan 2024 Figma Update, the Dev Mode is accessible only for a paid Figma seat. This update creates an issue that the paid Figma seat gives full access to the developers and they can edit the file, which is problematic from a hand-off POV. @TeamFigma can we have a viewer only Dev Mode restored to ensure that the files cannot be edited?

Variants properties issue show/hide

Hello Team, I’ve attached a screenshot showing the setup of my text component. For the Chip and Switch component, I’ve only set up one text size. However, the button component includes four different sizes: Small, Medium, Large, and X-large. The problem I’m facing is that whenever I use the Chip and Switch component, the size options also appear. I’m looking for a solution to prevent the size options from appearing on the Chip and Switch component. Only when I choose the button should the size options be available. I appreciate any assistance you can provide in resolving this issue. Thanks, Vijayan M

Two accounts, crop shortcut not working in my pro account

I have two Figma accounts, one is personal and free and the other one is part of a Pro plan. I’m trying to crop frames using command + dragging the cursor. It works in my free account but doesn’t in my pro one and it’s honestly driving me crazy. I’ve already set my keyboard to US and it didn’t change a thing. I’ve also checked the settings and they’re identical. Can someone help me? This is so frustrating, I can’t work like this.
