Can the “Fill” image align to the top instead of center?

I resurrect this topic from another user that was closed without any response. For example: Using the Fill option for the image, the image will be center aligned when the container size changes. I need the image still fill the width of the container, but align to the top of the image, instead of the center. Crop doesn’t work, bc it will scratch the image only on the X-axis. The container can get wider, but the height is fixed. I tried different way (change the image to scale, auto layout, etc) and couldn’t find a way to achieve this. Anyone knows a trick? Or this is something Figma cannot do at the moment? Thanks!

Drag feature doesn't work on both directions

I expect to have two drag interactions which go to the left and right for a carousel. Unfortunately, only one direction works (to the right side). Is it a bug? Or how can I fix it?

Ability to set a slice and have that display in an image container in figma slide

I want to showcase my design system in a presentation, but preparing slices, exporting them, and importing them into slides is a cumbersome process. It would be amazing if I could set a slice, for example, 810x810, and directly target that slice in a Figma slide. This way, I could pull it through seamlessly into the slide. Additionally, having the ability to zoom, rotate, and adjust the slice directly within the slide would make it much easier to perfect the content.

Can Figma links in Slack directly open in the desktop app?

I use the desktop app–my team and I post Figma links in Slack. I would like to be able to open them directly in the desktop app, but I can’t. Direct as in not going through a browser first. I have Bumpr (link opener utility), but I can’t designate Figma as a “browser”. Current flow: I click the link in Slack “Opening this in desktop app” page opens in Chrome File opens in desktop app I would like to get rid of #2. It feels super clunky, leads to #3 not always showing me the correct page/screen, and leaves a tab in Chrome that other than reloading to fix a step #3 failure, has no long-term purpose. Does the Slack plugin allow #2 to be skipped? I can’t test this because I’m not the Slack admin.

Mousing around the Figma canvas (horizontal scroll)

How do you scroll around your Figma canvas with a normal scroll-wheel mouse? I use a Magic Mouse for Figma work. That means I can scroll in any direction with a single finger on the top of the mouse, which is super convenient. For ergonomic reasons I am moving to a larger mouse. Are there mouses other than Apple’s that have the touch surface on them? If not I guess I’m transitioning to a scroll wheel. How do you navigate the canvas with a scroll wheel? Having to hold a modifier key to enter or change modes feels like it’ll be clumsy after the easy one-finger movement of the Magic Mouse.

Text is highlighted by browser incorrectly when changing property sort order using drag and drop (within the create component property dialog)

This bug can be reproduced as follows: On a component with nested components, create a new instance swap property. Add multiple preferred values. 4 or more will demonstrate the issue more clearly. Use drag-and-drop to drag a preferred value up or down. While dragging, the UI highlights the text of any of the “in between” items. In the following screenshot, I took the first item and dropped it into the third position. This is the result: Note, this does not happen on the main component’s “edit instance swap” dialog, only when initially creating the property in the “Create component property” dialog.

How to make your prototype fit to screen on iPad

Hello, I want to show my iPhone 13 app prototype on my iPad. However it isn’t fitting to its iPhone 13 screen size, it fills the whole ipad screen meaning you have to scroll up and down to perform actions. I would like it to show the whole screen and you can interact with it as it would be shown on an iPhone. Can someone help me with how to do this?

Figma bug, i recently added properties but are not working

Hi everyone, I’ve added a new property (variant) to my component. It appears in the right-hand bar after I’ve published it on my project, but it doesn’t work when I use it. I don’t get any errors when I look in the library where I created it, so I don’t understand… it seems to be a bug

Figma cant see the new installed fonts

Hello everyone! About a month ago i noticed that Figma cant see the new fonts, then i decided to go to another program to finish my work, thinking that Figma (after the big upgrade) needs a time to detect the new font files. Now i am in the situation when i cant work without Figma. I spent about 4 hours reading the forum and useless articles in case i can find the solution. And no! The problem is still here. I tried: Install and uninstall Figma Desktop Install and uninstall Figma Font Installer Restart my macbook Tried to work from browser (nothing changed, no fonts) Troubleshoot/clear cache (OF COURSE!) I even have tried to put the font in Figma with mac os console I am loosing my hope to solve this naughty small problem. How can i fix this? Any ideas? MacOS 15.0 Sequoia (24A335) Figma Desktop App version 124.6.2

I can't get my scroll bar to work properly

Hi there, I’m currently experimenting with scrolling content on a page, specifically using a scroll bar. I’ve followed some tutorials, and while the basic functionality is working, there are a few issues I haven’t been able to resolve: I’ve added a hover action to the scroll bar button, but it doesn’t seem to stay active while scrolling - I’ve tried this using both ‘change to’ and also by setting each state as a true / false variant - neither seems to give the desired effect. When releasing the scroll button mid-scroll, the content jumps to the top or bottom instead of stopping in-situ, which would be the expected behaviour of a scroll bar for the user. Any help on any of the points would be greatly appreciated! I’m still early in my learning journey, so any guidance would be really helpful. I’ve attached the Figma file I’m working on, and I’ve tried to name everything clearly and logically. Thanks so much! scroll-test.fig (51.0 KB)

Creating a new plugin or importing a manifest not working

I’m developing a plugin and it has been running without any issues. It suddenly stopped working and when I tried to import the manifest again, I’m getting an error: Uncaught (in promise) Error: Error invoking remote method 'web:createMultipleNewLocalFileExtensions': TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'path') at IpcRenderer.invoke (VM4 sandbox_bundle:2:118120) at async Object.createMultipleNewLocalFileExtensions (<anonymous>:12:11851) I then tried to create a new plugin (Figma design + FigJam) and am getting an error: Error: Error invoking remote method 'web:writeNewExtensionDirectoryToDisk': TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'path') at IpcRenderer.invoke (VM4 sandbox_bundle:2:118120) at async Object.writeNewExtensionDirectoryToDisk (<anonymous>:12:12906) Any ideas? Has there recently been an update in the Figma plugin API?

figma.currentPage is not being set as expected

As a basic example, I’m trying to create a Cover page and set that page as the Figma.currentPage. However, in the console.log of the currentPage, it still show as “Page 1” instead of “Cover”. The actual Figma app does switch to the “Cover” page, but I don’t understand why console.log is showing “Page 1” instead of “Cover” as the currentPage. This is causing frames I want to create on the “Cover” page to be created on “Page 1” instead. What am I missing to ensure that Figma has successfully set currentPage to “Cover” before I create frames? Or is there a way to create frames directly on the “Cover” page without having to set it as the currentPage?

Optimizing Asynchronous Node Processing in a Figma Plugin

Hey everyone 👋. I’m pretty new to Figma plugin development and I’ve hit a wall. I’m working on a plugin where the main task is processing nodes when the user selects them. The problem? Figma freezes for a while when it runs, and it’s driving me nuts. Here’s the deal: The processing is all in the code.ts file because I need access to all the node properties. I haven’t moved anything to the ui since it doesn’t give me what I need. I tried using a Web Worker to handle some of the heavy lifting, but realized code.ts doesn’t support Web APIs, so that plan flopped. Right now, I’m using a Promise.all to process everything asynchronously and skipping invisible nodes to lighten the load. It helps a bit, but it’s still not enough to stop Figma from freezing. The big bottleneck is one function doing all the work, and it’s just too slow. So here’s what I’m wondering: how can I handle this kind of async processing better without locking up Figma? Also, is there a way to show some kind of

Giant purple banner and obtrusive post at top of forum

Hi. We heard you. We see the giant purple banner and lengthy post pinned at the top of the forum. Now give us the ability to dismiss it permanently so we do not have to scroll past it every time we want to use the forum. If Figma is good at one thing, that is annoying its users and not thinking about UX when they do things!

In UI3, where can use set a boolean (show/hide) property to a object in a component?

In the old UI, it was here: In the new UI, a button that looks similar in the “Appearance” group (which has no tooltip) just brings up a list of variables. I’m probably looking right at it, but I don’t see it. Not sure what applying a variable here would even do.

Latest variable update has not been ideal and has made my figma abit buggy

Since the latest variable update, the way to add a property to a bunch of variables in my component has become alot more complex. Now i can’t select multiple and add in a property but i find i have to rename it in my layers panel for the option to show up in the properties panel, and then apply that property to all the other ones. Unsure if related to the variable update, but now when i go back into my projects i find parts of my designs are literally blank until i double click the component then it refreshes and comes back? it’s very strange. Also moving the ‘go to main component’ button has been really annoying as now i have to right click to go back when i used to just be able to click the shortcut button. If there was a way to customise my shortcuts that would be ideal.

Prototype hovers get stuck

Greetings! I’d like to report a bug I’ve been noticing for a long time now in Figma’s prototypes. When viewing prototypes, components’ hover-interations would get stuck. Once components transition to a hover state, they wouldn’t transition back on mouse leave (when I move the cursor away). So every component that has a hover freezes in it’s hover state once I move the cursor in. The issue usually gets resolved when I reload the prototype tab, but it comes back from time to time, I’ve had this bug multiple times today already. I’m working with pretty large artboards that have a fair number of components and a lot of them have hovers, so reloading a tab takes some time. I’ve noticed this issue in multiple files, different projects, etc — it just kinda happens sometimes. I’m assuming it mostly affects larger files. Figured I’d post about it here, there might be someone else experiencing the same issue. If possible, perhaps there’s a chance someone could look into it. Thanks 🙂 Best
