Hello, for me it’s seems like a bug, but maybe I’m doing something wrong?I’m choosing few elements so I can move them together inside the grid,however, sometimes like in this case, these elements gets duplicated,however all I did was move them around, I did not copied them. Thanks!   

Hi Figma Community,I have used File 1 to build the Figma Variables.and published it for the rest of the project to used.At File 1, it show up.Once I published, at File 2,the Dark Mode V1 / Light Mode / Dark Mode V2 selection did not show up. It still like this Is there a solution to this?

I am using a material design icons and instead of linking to that separate file I wanted to know could I just have those master components in my own file rather linking to one. I have cut and pasted but they still go to the external file.

I previously had access to AI design tools and now they are gone. I’ve checked my settings, and they’re switched on, so I’m not sure what’s going on. I’d love to have them back if possible—thanks for your help!

I have created a widget using cursor, how can I import in figma file?

The components in my file aren’t reflecting the most recent master component updates, despite me publishing and accepting the updates. There is other weirdness as well. Steps:I published the original library, and moved all of the components to a new library using CMD X and paste.  I published the new library and started noticing that many of the “swap me” components that had been replaced with content components (which had edits to text, images, etc. in the instances) had reverted to the “swap me” component I panicked and reverted to a previous version before I had moved my components because I needed the designs to reflect the edited state. Since the original design file is an MVP, it can remain as is and I just won’t accept any updates to the new component library in that file.  Moving on to new design file using the new component library… When I pull in components from the new library (which has updates

Is it possible so that when I’m resizing a component with frame constrains the image stops scaling once it reaches it’s frame borders?This is the original component  

Hi there! I’m starting a new project using Figma’s Simple Design System (SDS) and have a question about the color primitives. Under "Foundations," I noticed there are two types of gray primitives: Gray and Slate. These link to semantic tokens but in slightly different ways.I’m also curious about the distinction between Default/Base and Neutral tokens in the Color Variables (e.g., for Background, Text, Icon, etc.). Could someone clarify the differences and share best practices for using these various "grays"? Thanks in advance!

For some reason after the latest update Figma mouse wheel scroll up/down is not working properly. Let me describe the problem I’m having. When I used the mouse scroll wheel (scrolling up and down) before the latest update, it was just scrolling up/down. Now, sometimes instead of scrolling up and down its zooming in and out. I’m using Macbook Pro Max M1 2021. Please, let me guys know if you have similar issue or its just me. Maybe its related to the mouse firmware update or something or its a bug I’m not really sure. Thank you!

Hello all, Struggling a bit to achieve a very common pattern on the web with overlays (popovers). Let’s say there is component X (button for example), that when mouse entered and stayed hover for a certain time (let’s say 250ms), an overlay should open from that component (let’s say a menu). That is achievable in Figma today using mouse enter > open overlay (but delay is unsupported unfortunately). Now on the web, the user expects the overlay to close when they either move the mouse out of the original component and NOT over the overlay, from the overlay to outside of it, or if they click something inside the overlay menu. This seems not possible to do achieve in Figma, or am I missing something ? I can activate “close on click outside” on the overlay, fine, but it’s not the same… I can add a close overlay when mouse leaves but I have to add this on the overlay itself, not the original component, and I don’t find a way to also cl

I’m a new Figma user and I’m building pages based on Figma mock-ups. I have only view access to the Figma design, and I can’t figure out how to export the background image of a frame while preserving the crop exactly as it appears in Figma. When I export the frame itself, all content visible within the frame (text, buttons, etc.) is exported - i.e. it exports the framed region exactly as it appears. I want only the background image, but unlike this thread, I want just the portion of the background image that appears within the frame. Is this possible? It seems like it would be a common need, but I can’t figure it out.

Why is Figma all of a sudden just slamming the memory and battery on my MacBook Air M1 with 16GB RAM? It started maybe a week ago and I can barely work anymore. I've provided some screenshots that show just how many Figma processes are open and how ridiculously expensive they all are. Memory consumption, 9 processesEnergy consumption 

I am using Google’s Material 3 UIKit for a project, but would like to alter styles to the project’s needs. How can i copy the UIKit with all it’s styles to use it as a local library so that i can change the library as needed?(I am on the starter plan)

Hi!I currently use “Professional” plan, and I purchased 2 seats, for me and my developer.My question is - Should we both have “Professional” plan so that my developer will have access to my drafts(with all the Properties visible, etc.)? Or I can just have the “Professional” plan for myself and give my developer editing rights? Or may be my developer should be on the “Professional” plan (and have access to all Properties), while I stay on the basic plan?Just trying to figure out the best option.Thank you!

Text words fine itself with just auto layoutHowever, when I try to create components for header and body copy and put it into an auto layout, the width and heigh of the text does not fit to the frame and text height does not adjust accordingly. IssueIssueText Properties Text Properties 

I’ve gone through all the memory/performance improvement steps for the desktop app. The only thing I haven’t done is break up my files. To be clear. These very same files worked just fine prior to UI3. So I don’t think the problem is really the files. The only way I can break up my component lib (which is smaller than any I’ve seen in the community) would be to put variables in one lib, text styles in another, inputs in another, etc. The only way I can make my files smaller would be to only have 1 page per file. Most of the performance threads I’ve seen are around specific issues or prototypes. My performance issues are with any and every aspect of Figma. Loading files being the most annoying. I’m also on an M2 Ultra Mac Studio with 192 GB of memory. It’s not my setup. Is UI3 just worse all around on memory?

I can't see the Total Views or Individual Product Views under the Metrics tab after updating to the latest version. Could someone help me determine if this is an issue specific to my account or a general problem affecting all users in the community?    

Hello, I recently went back to studying UX/UI Design after a hiatus and received a message from Figma saying that my student plan will expire in 4 weeks. When I tried to re-apply, I received the message "You’ve already used up your free access to the Figma Education plan." I am still a student and do not work in the field yet, how can I re-apply for the education plan?

I am having difficulty putting text on top of some of my images. I click on the text and choose bring to front. Sometimes this works, sometimes it does not. On certain images no matter how many times I click bring to front the image is always on top. Thanks!

Hello,I was wondering whether prototyping with variables is incompatible with interactive component states? Specifically, I wanted to create a one screen prototype using tab components such that when one tab is selected, all of the other tabs deselect. I was successful in doing so using the steps described below, but had to remove the prototyping connectors from my component. Is this a known issue, by design, or is there a way around it? Thanks in advance for any insight. Added local boolean variables for Tab 1 Active, Tab 2 Active, Tab 3 active and set only Tab 1 to true. Then in design mode, I applied the variable to the component property for active state for each tab. In prototype mode added set variable actions on click to make the tab being clicked set the boolean variable to true, and false of each of the other tabs present in the prototype.

There is a problem when we use Instance Swap, the initial min-width setting remains and is not reset when we swap the element.Example of the image below:The button has a min-width of 60px, when I swap it for the icon-button it maintains the 60px min-width, however, the icon-button does not have a min-width and should be 40px x 40px.  

Additive work in Figma: Two Figma files with the same variables. File1 contains elements like buttons, etc., while File2 is empty. Is it possible to copy buttons from File1 into File2 so that the buttons are automatically linked to the variables in File2 (same names and connections, but different color assignments for the primitives)? If the variables in File1 and File2 are identical, can I copy a button with links to variables from File1 into File2, and will the button automatically link to the variables from File2?

Recently, I often encounter the error Figma is not defined in the console The Figma plugin API in the global variable no longer exists. Refresh the page to restore it to normal This is an occasional problem that has appeared recently. It is very disturbing. Did the recent Figma update break something?
