TL;DR: figma.ui.reposition only works until user moves the window for the first time. Background During development of Parrot we found the need to support different Window Modes like Fullscreen, Docked to the Bottom or modal window - as requested by others - see links below. To mimic such a behaviour one basically needs to know the windows current position and one needs to be able to change it. While Figma doesn’t provide a method to get the current possition it supports the repositioning: via figma.ui.reposition. This function works until the user has moved the window manually by dragging it. After the first drag after showing the window - the function does set the corresponding v

Framing QuestionSometimes, you might discover that a layer, which appears to be inside a frame, is actually outside of it—placed directly on the canvas. It just happens to share the same x and y coordinates as the frame. When you move the frame, some layers suddenly lose their positions because they weren’t part of the frame. This can be quite frustrating.Usually, when I encounter an orphan layer like this, I have to find it in the layer list and drag the item into the frame list item. Alternatively, I drag the layer outside the frame and then back again to its original position. This is also an annoying process.However, I’ve noticed that when I drag a layer that isn’t part of the frame, the frame underneath sometimes highlights with a blue line, suggesting there’s a way to add the layer to the frame directly.So, is there a shortcut or similar method to add a layer that is atop a frame to the frame easily

I created a component with two variants: State: Collapsed and State: Extended. Basically, the first one is when it’s not clicked, and the second one is when it is clicked. I changed the text in the second variant, but in presentation mode, the text doesn’t seem to update. In the prototype, I picked “change to” to switch from collapsed to extended and vice versa. I’ve attached a video to show the issue. This is the first time I’ve run into this little hiccup, so I think I might have forgotten something or overlooked a detail.Figma question

Hi guys! I'm trying to prototype this section, and i wanted to know if it's possible to change the image A, for an image B when it's aligned to the SECOND TEXT. I attached a gif so you guys can understand better what I mean.

Hello!I have a problem. Now I am living in Russia and have mobile operator “Megafon”. When I am using it, I can’t open Figma boards and also page “Recents and Sharing”. How can it be, if it is fast?

Found nothing regarding this in a Search, so asking here. The Help doc shows an icon to adjust Paragraph Spacing just below the Line Height icon. But in my settings panel this Paragraph Spacing icon/adjustment is not visible. Has it moved somewhere? Thanks.

My Right Side Panel Menu disappeared! HELP! Control+\ does not bring it back!.

I have a file with a design system, and I want to preserve the properties of the components in Figma into new file and create new components in the design system with the same properties but with different tokens. Essentially, I need to detach the old components from the old design system into a new one. I need variants of the old components. May be we have some plugin? Or I can do it just in Figma?

Hello I’m using a professional plan on Figma I’ve enabled the AI feature in the settings, but it doesn’t show up in the toolbar. Could this be a bug, or is there a way to make it appear?

I was wondering if there is any way to drag and drop and image from your desktop in a FigJam so it swaps the image out, rather than stacking on top. Any help is appreciated!

It’s quite frustrating i can’t resize Figjam stickies. Or at least its inconsistent. sometimes I can sometimes I can’t.

 How to filter search results by Drafts only? 

Currently making a prototype for book reserving. Upon clicking check in, it’s supposed to toggle a variable checkActive to true. It’s supposed to look like this but instead it toggles the two other windows from some reason?  What’s the issue here when I have affixed the appropriate variables to each window’s visibility? 

In my design library, I’ve created a component a component with a light transparent image background, I want it to switch to a dark transparent image background if in dark mode - This seemed the only way to add transparency that didn’t apply to the child elements inside of the component. This usually works fine for most elements using local color variables in this design library… but I can’t make an image a variable.How have others solved this challenge? I don’t want to do this with interaction triggers, because this is a library element, and I don’t want to create a variant, because that defeats the purpose of having a mode. 

If I export a frame as an SVG, Figma adds a phantom rect element to the file that is not in the design. Note if it helps troubleshoot: the bug doesn’t happen if you go to SVG export settings and check “Ignore overlapping layers”. Please stop adding elements that shouldn’t be there; this is causing render artifacts for some of our products.

when I use the LIBRARY_PUBLISH webhook, the description returned by the API is not always correct.Sometimes it corresponds to the previous version.Has anyone else encountered this issue?It seems like the problem is coming directly from Figma.

Sadly I have to work on a Windows computer, so whenever I type a special character, it’s done with alt + 3 digits. But when I do that, the special character replaces the character that it comes after. This drives me crazy, and it’s unlikely they’ll be giving me a Mac(book) anytime soon...

Hi guys, In the current UI (NOT beta), the variable selector behavior has changed for the worse. When the variable name is long (or has a long path) the buttons to detach the variable or to find the element using it within a selection become hidden behind the right border. Since the right-side panel cannot be resized, it is super annoying. Please provide a fix – I don’t want to switch to the beta UI just yet or introduce changes to my variables' taxonomy (duuuh...).  Additionally, I cannot select a variable from a list by clicking its name (I used to be able to do so before). Now I need to always click the swatch.   

Figma flickers when loading or when switching between tabs or zooming. I couldn’t find how to fix the issue on the internet. I use the application on Windows. This is not visible in the screen recording. I have a video on my phoneaccounts.google.com

I have had access to the AI design tool for awhile now, but this morning when I loged on to create another project, the AI design tool has been removed? Can someone help me find it or get it back. We had created an amazing workflow for our team and this has slowed us down tremendiously. 

I am running into a bug only in the past 2 hours. Any instance of a component with variants that has text from a variable now won’t show the text. Is anyone else seeing this problem? I can re create this with a very simple 1 text component.

Is there any way to break all connections but leave my account intact? It has some pretty important stuff in it and there’s no way i can get in touch with the people in charge of permissions. Or am I screwed? I can’t even log in. Thanks

I designed a site design from Figma Desktop and then due to an app update, I couldn’t use the Desktop version anymore and had to use the browser version. This could be relevant to the problem. Now its time to build the site but I can’t export any images or text without changing the fonts to something else (which I would rather not). I select an image and shift command E or File/Export but nothing happens. 0 out 0 exported. Inconvenient because all my source files and text are handy within the FIgma file. For the fonts issue where I cannot extract text without installing the Font Agent.I have downloaded and installed “Figma Agent.app”, cleared cache and restarted browser and computer but still the same. If I click on my Account profile, then Settings, under Font’s it says: “Local fonts are currently not enabled. Install fo

The need for custom shortcuts remains: Customizable shortcuts Share an idea They are customisable on Mac but not all shortcuts work. E.g. you can’t CMD + 1 for “Zoom to Fit”. Instead it switches to the first Figma tab. You can’t override it. In the meantime, I’ve been using the System Preferences of MacOS to create custom shortcuts:

Hello, I would like to ask, is it possible, if i am an owner of a team, then i delete the team if i no longer use it? And if it is possible, does it affect any files inside the team and the members in the team, will they automatically lost access to the files inside the team too? Because I don’t see any options in Figma to block a certain email or user, but i don’t want them to keep asking for request in my file team, aside from deny, is it possible to say that I as the owner have left the team hence cannot approve nor deny access, or perhaps if it is another way for Figma to change the link of my file? Thank you
