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,

HiI want to turn the Simplify instances off for +400 components at once but it’s impossible!But it was possible to turn this one with one action. What can I do?

It is about high time that Figma fixes the visibility of grids in designs. There is NO REASON that the grid has to be showing on every single page of my design when I am trying to make adjustments to a single page. THEN, clicking the eye to hide the grid hides it everywhere. This needs serious work. It is annoying. And it keeps designers from using the grid method because it is just so poorly done in FIgma. Sorry. This was a purely rant post. But had to be said.

For several days now, masked rasters have been scaling to fit the width of the mask, FIT to mask size. It's ridiculous. Macos SEQUOIA 15.0 (24A335), FIGMA 125 0 8, IMAC 2017 

When attempting to swap the instance of a nested component (e.g. changing the icon in a button), I get the following error. “An error occurred while retrieving the component or state group” First time I’ve ever come across this error in all my time working in Figma, so I wanted to find out whether anyone else has experienced this error

We are trying to use a component that has a nested sub-component.  That sub-component then also has a nested component.  When we start the prototype with all of the parent items expanded, it works great.  When we collapse each, and then expand them again, the sub-components all work as intended as well as the sub-sub component.  If we start the prototype with the parent collapsed, it breaks and reverts all of the sub-sub components back to the first variant.  Here are pictures of an example we built as well as a prototype link for it in action. There are two prototypes, one with them expanded.  If you click on the expanded items, they will expand and collapse and keep the rest of the content, the green/yellow blocks the same plus the text within them.  On the other, incorrect, one, if you expand them the colored boxes does stay changed, but the text reverts back to just “Testing Block”. Thoughts on how to fix this?  

First rectangle with radius 40Second rectangle with radius 0Result of subtractionDear Figma team, I hope you are doing well, I have found an issue when I have tried to subtract rectangle with radius 40 with another rectangle with radius 0, I expect the subtraction will be with the same radius “40” but I found one edge with 40 radius and the other one with 0 radius.Another notice when I rotate the rectangle “with radius 40” 180 degree and then I subtract it from the rectangle “with radius 0” the result

Dear Figma Support Team,I hope you’re doing well. I’m reaching out regarding two critical issues I’m experiencing with my Figma Community files:Lost Files – I recently noticed that all my files on the Figma Community have disappeared. I can no longer access them, and they are not visible on my profile. Reupload Issue – When I try to reupload the files, I encounter an error preventing me from restoring them.These files are essential to my work, and I’d greatly appreciate your assistance in recovering them or understanding what went wrong. Please let me know if you need any additional details to investigate this further.link: figma.com/@mqdesigns Looking forward to your prompt response.

After trying to fix my settings on an old mac os, I somehow added a frequently visited toolbar which appears where the search engine usually would.I’ve unticked the frequently visited and the screen is at max, so it wasn’t covered.I’ve tried everything by looking at websites on my phone and many of the options they suggest choosing - such as settings/view …. but in my mac, view doesn’s appear under settings. (Lots of these examples).I’ve rebooted. Only managed to log into google because the icloud website appears in the problematical toolbar and I changed the search. Also can’t find word count in Pages for love nor money - same issues as above eg of settings/view. Thanks so much!Nicki

I am working on a project that involves pixel art. Due to the nature of the project, it is important that assets exported by Figma are unaltered from their original source images. Until recently, there were no problems: Figma exported PNGs identical to the assets originally uploaded.However, today we have discovered the any new file uploaded to Figma is being exported with pixelated results.Here are screen shots showing the difference between the source image and the one Figma exports. As you can see, the Figma-exported file appears to have been anti-aliased or gone through some other image processing that has generated a large number of new pixels in new colours/transparencies. If you look at the palette on the right, you can see that the original image only contains a handful of colours, while Figma’s new imag

I created variables for font sizes and line height. I then created styles that use those variables. An issue is present if you have different styles for mobile and desktop. Styles the first values for the first mode listed which leads to incorrect values displayed. In the attached video you can see the font size and line height are are 48 & 51.5, but the values displayed in the style section are 54 & 54. Detached style displaying font size 48 & line height 51.5 Style showing font size 54 & line height 58 

Have been searching for solutions to this but cannot find any. Since moving to a newer Macbook Air 13.6 inch, fit width no longer actually fits width, nor does fill screen or fit to screen. I have a black border all around the prototype regardless of which setting I use for this. Any solutions or has anyone else had this issue? Using Chrome, using the web version of Figma, only change has been that my laptop has a newer screen size than before. Thanks

Hello, how do I apply The Disabled boolean property into each of these variants? Currently when I create a new component property , it says an error message of ‘Not Used Within Component’. I cant find a way to apply the created property to variant. Im stuck at this. Thanks!

Hi there, I have a problem with creating and applying a boolean property. I have a button that is created with nested components. I create a boolean property on the top level of a component to show an icon-only button variant. Still, when I want to apply it to the variants, it’s not visible there so I get an error that says the property is not used within a component. Does anybody have a similar problem? Screenshots attached.

Hello dear community,I have an illustration that looks like this:Unfortunately, it consists of several individual paths:Now I would like to transfer the visible red area to a single shape so that I end up with a clean and efficient SVG graphic. This means that all the individual paths should be merged into a single surface.The internal tools of Figma do not help me so far, because the individual paths remain and I could not find suitable plugins. (A plugin called “Really Flatten Vectors” actually does exactly what I need, but unfortunately it chops up the graphics).Do you have a solution? 

Hi, what AI tools do you use to create the MVP mobile app using Figma designs? After a design is done in Figma, some of the tools I know can create the code for the UI are Blackbox, Copilot (with it’s new ver), but these need a lot of rework by a developer. Tools like Loveable and Framer are not Figma oriented and so don’t help for the customized UIs we create.Also, I am thinking if we can create a working ver using Figma designs, it’ll help us try it out or finalize better UX. Thoughts?

Hello!Recently I faced an issue which after I copy & paste a section, all those components with variants aren’t place in order. This issue happen on last Friday (14 Feb 2025), before that has no issue. Please do refer the GIF image below.  May I know what’s the problem caused this? Appreciate if anyone could solve this issue for me, thank you very much! Regards,Kwan.

Hi! New Figma feature ‘coordinate system’ doesn’t give me to copy files and paste them normally to another files. Cause it put everything in one corner. It is not good. 

Hey! Cant fix title 10- mb file, not gigabytes. i see that many people speak about slow figma, and in many places they discuss that 2gb of memory is not enough for them. My file is 10mb,  memory is busy on  2%, can’t understand how does it work. Error pages and logs out every few minutes in web and desktop

17.02.2025 we have lost our project SmartHire with all files within  it. There is no project in the trash and so we are not able to restore it. Now we only have link to this project. Could you help us to restore it please?

That is certainly not a viable approach, and if it were, I fail to see how it would function effectively. However, what I do know is that I have 120 images that need to be created as styles in Figma. The hypothetical scenario may be absurd, but let’s assume it were real.Here is how I would accomplish this without using plugins:Select an image. Click on Apply Styles and Variables. Click on the New Styles and Variables button. Switch to Styles (since images cannot be stored in variables) from the default Variables tab.(Wait—where did I saw users were forced to adopt new features? Oh, that’s right—Apple does it all the time.) Name the style and create it.So, my question is: What would it cost us to keep Variables and Styles separate?

I am a Designer with a team of Developers working with me. I want to buy subscriptions for myself and the team for us to have a smoother handover process, but I am unsure what the payment plans are like. Is it one payment that will cover all the accounts? or will we have to buy a separate subscription for each account? Is it better for us to have the professional plan or the organization plan? (The team is made of 1 Designer and 2 Developers - Could add 2 more Devs in the future) I, as a Designer, will need both Design and Dev modes while the Developers will only need Dev modeI emailed the sales team about it but I don’t know what the response times are like, so here I am :)Thanks to anyone who can provide any clarity or help! 

when i’m placing a picture that is larger than the slide itself, in desktop it looks like it’s clipped automatically to the size of the slide. however when i’m presenting the slide on mobile, the entire image is presented, not clipped. I tried to put it inside a frame and apply clipping mask on it, and it didn't work - it still shows the entire image. I had to crop it so it will work when i’m displaying it on mobile. please fix that. 

I’m working from an Antd component library. Recently, the components stopped showing overrides. Instead, it shows ‘component documentation”. I’ve tried clearing the cache and restarting. I’ve reverted the component library to 3 months ago (when the problem didn’t exist). Not sure what else I can do.
