Hi everyone — I’m seeing unexpected behaviour in the Figma Desktop app on my Mac and hoping others can confirm or help.What’s happening: When I try to scroll up and down with my mouse/trackpad in the Figma Desktop app, the canvas zooms in and out instead of panning/scrolling. This happens even when I’m not holding the Cmd key (⌘). When it occurs: It happens consistently in the Figma Desktop app on macOS and on the browser version. It doesn’t seem to matter whether I use a trackpad swipe or a USB mouse scroll wheel. What I expect: Normal vertical scrolling should move the viewport up/down (or if at canvas edge, scroll the file UI). Zooming should only occur when I hold the appropriate modifier (Cmd/Ctrl or pinch gesture), not for plain scroll gestures. What I’ve tried so far: Restarted Figma app Restarted macOS Checked Figma Desktop Preferences for any scroll/zoom settings Tried both my MacBook trackpad and an external USB mouse Tested in a different Figma file and in the same file

Already asked here:  But I’m having this same issue and have no idea what the resolution is.Things keep showing as edited and “properties changed” when I didn’t touch those pages at all. My team and I now have to make another branch off the main when we are done working, copy and paste our work into the second branch and archive the first branch we did all the work in bc the first branch always shows so many edits and we can’t pin down what is going on.

Is there a way in Figma, or a plugin, to give me a way to see or find out where a variable is being used in a component library. For example, how can I find out where “background.primary” is being used?Also, with that being said, is the a plugin that will give me all the variables for a single component?Thanks!!

OMG they randomly disappear constantly. How is this such a hard problem for Figma to solve? Just give us a thumbnail upload option. [Title updated by a moderator on 07-Oct-2025 from 'Please fix thumbnails already!!!!' to '[Bug] Thumbnails Not Appearing in Files'].

Dear Figma Support Team,I am a student at Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati, majoring in Design (second year, expected graduation: 2028). I urgently need access to Figma's education plan for coursework, but I’ve been completely blocked by the SheerID verification process.Here’s what has happened so far: I used Figma's education plan for a year and when it was time to reverify I submitted the verification form, but when I submitted my documents, there was an error. I tried it two more times and it gave an error. When I made another try, it said "verification limit exceeded". I reached SheerID multiple times and each time their response was "While we can't offer further details or support for this specific inquiry, please ensure all information submitted is accurate and meets the eligibility criteria for future attempts. Your ticket has now been permanently closed." The issue was not resolved by SheerID and I am still getting the "verification limit exceeded" when I try to re-

Hi everyone,I used to work at a company where I created a FigJam file using my company Google account. That account has since been deleted, but I recently found that the file is still publicly accessible and even appears in Google search results.The file contains internal company processes, so it really shouldn’t be visible to the public. I tried to change the sharing settings, but since my old Google account no longer exists, I can’t access or manage the file at all.Is there any way to delete or hide the file from public view (for example, by contacting Figma support or submitting a removal request)?Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

In Windows 11 wiriting auto complete not working properly inside the canvas.For example i want to wirite “here” so when i start typing “he” windows suggest possible words:Inside the canvaswhen i select one of the suggestions it add it next instead of replacing the whole word:Inside the canvasThis is how it should work for example:i start typing “tit”:Left side panel Layers it replace my typing with suggestion i select “title”:Left side panel Layers  

Empty spaces in sticky components are allowing clicks for the components below them. The sticky frame has a solid fill with natural blending mode. It is also above the other components in the layers panel.How to block the clicks?

I’ve been following the latest search engine updates closely, especially how they affect niche sites. As someone working at SEO Circular and writing for the Figma Community Forum ,I wanted to share some observations and takeaways.Over the past few months, it’s clear that many niche sites have seen significant changes in traffic. For instance, some studies of Google’s “Helpful Content” update showed that a number of niche or affiliate-type sites lost a substantial portion of their traffic — in some cases 60–70%. The updates are emphasizing content that is original, trustworthy, human-authored, and genuinely helpful to users. At the same time, there are signals that sites offering deep, niche-specific expertise can still perform well, sometimes even gaining visibility over larger, generic sites.For those managing niche content, here’s what seems to make a difference: Quality over quantity: Pages with shallow or templated content are more vulnerable. Focus on creating content that offers

I’m not sure if this is related, but I just upgraded to OSX Tahoe and now I can’t add additional accounts to the Figma desktop app. When I try to add an account through the web browser, the app either crashes, or it keeps saying “It expired, try on desktop app,” and then crashes. How can I fix this?I just logged out the main account and seemed like I can’t log back in to the app at all. The browser just crashes over and over. 

May I know how can we share the dev mode to the external developers? We would invite them as a guest for the file, but can the external developer paid for the full seat account?

We have a modal wizard component with a header and footer and content section with a slot for scrolling content. The header and footer are nested components and absolutely positioned: Yet, when the nested footer component property for number of buttons is changed to a different value (e.g., 4 buttons) than what the default is in the parent component (3 buttons), the fixed positioning of the header and footer are removed. This breaks the scrolling Is this a bug or could there be a problem in the construction? The  

I am trying to verify my education status. But it is showing "Verification limit exceeded". Can anyone else is having the same issue or have solved it. 

After using Figma for your design work, how do you check whether it is helping your team work faster, better, or more efficiently? Which numbers or feedback do you look at?

Hey everyone I work at TripleMinds, and our team has been exploring how design can shape more human-like AI interactions. Recently, we’ve been experimenting with Candy AI Clone, a tool that lets you create adaptive AI characters that evolve through conversations.I’m curious how other designers here think about this space: Have you designed interfaces for AI-driven personalities or chat companions? How do you visualize things like emotional tone, growth, or character traits within Figma? Are there any plugins or design systems you’ve used for mapping AI conversations or user emotions? Would love to learn how others are incorporating AI personality design into their UX workflows — and how tools like Figma can support that creative process.Looking forward to hearing your experiences and ideas! 

I have the education plan and now i can not see the inspect features and also some other properties in making responsive the layout like spaceBetween what is the issue? 

I’ve set this component to include both text and a background. I’m using a boolean to hide the background, but when it’s hidden, the component doesn’t shrink to fit the text — it keeps the same size as when the background is visible.

I created bug tickets in Figma for my team. A week has passed, and not a single one was answered. Today, all the tickets were closed with a “Resolved” status and no responses. I submitted both bug reports and sales related tickets. What’s going on?
