Hello everyone, sadly I couldn’t really find any solutions through Google, so I’m trying my luck here. I’m fairly new to prototyping with Figma but managed to create a hover-effect quite easily:The hover should add a gradient and a arrow. So far, so basic. Now, when testing out the prototype and hovering over my button, the smart objects in which all the buttons are positioned as part of the sites navigation component will change in width. I think I understand what’s happening in theory, the button is now getting ever so slightly bigger because of the arrow being added. This fact combined with the auto-layout just makes everything wider. I just don’t know how to solve it. Making the original button wider is not really possible because that would be a fixed value. I need the button to be flexible in width.I have already made a recording of the issue but I’m unsure on how to upload or attach the video. Is there a work-around I’m not seeing? Any help is appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Hi, How do I paste the blue frame in between About and How? The entire frame A is using auto-layout. Using ctrl+C and ctrl+V. Is it possible? I know I can use mouse click and drag in then it will sit perfectly in between. But what if I wanted to use keyboard keys?If i click on About and paste, blue frame will be nested inside About frame which is what I don’t want.Another way is to select any frame, hit Shift+Enter to go to parent frame A, However this will make the blue frame pasted at the end of frame A, imagine i have 10 rows, I’ll need to press arrow key up until it’s positioned on the 3rd row. Thanks!  

Hello! I’ve recently run into this problem with some images in my project files. Frames that had images in them no longer appear to have them and version history also cannot pull any of the images. They seem to just be gone. We have multiple instances across multiple files where we’ve encountered this. The images now just appear as rectangles in the layers panel. For one project page all of the images have disappeared, while on another only a few.  example of what it looks like in the layer panel now 

Hey all I am trying to enhance my code connect setup with code connect UI but I am currently facing some issues.I cannot connect my github repo to the design file system. Following the instructions, it redirects me to only create a new repo while I want to connect to an existing one I have connected most of my components through Code connect CLI and API, but I want to add some more context and MCP instructions via the UI but there is no option for this 

Since the last Figma Design update, several library components got broken in another file and show weird behavior. The problem is, that the resizing of some subcomponent instances don’t work correct. However, the issue only exists in the instance used in one file. The component itself within the library does not show any issues, neither in the master, nor when inserting an instance within the library or in other files. The really weird thing is, that detaching the component instance solves the problem. However, this is of course not, what I want, because then I don’t get any updates anymore. Inserting a fresh instance of the library component also does not solve the issue.This is a major bug and blocker for using Figma Design within our company right now and needs immediate attention!Best regardsMartin 

In my project, I use two separate Figma files—one for design and another for reusable components. These files are connected through a shared library. Occasionally, when I make edits to complex components, publish the changes, and then update the library in the design file, some components fail to update correctly. This usually happens when the component is nested inside another frame or auto layout.!--startfragment>I initially thought that might be the cause, but the strange part is that sometimes the update works perfectly. If anyone has experienced this issue or knows how to resolve it, I’d really appreciate your insights.!--endfragment>

I’m trying to switch a variant of component instance by switching variable mode. This works perfect once the component A is on top level and not nested. But if I nest component A into component B and then change the variable, the instance of component A still changes the variant as supposed but this also resets all other other properties of comp A to their defaults. This doesn’t happen when comp A is not nested. Tried with several components even with the simplest created from scratch. This topic doesn’t relate to prototypes and interactivity.

I have a Figma Library that is getting to heavy, so my team and I deleted all the unnecessary items, components, resizes the images and downloaded the file has a local file. We got 128mb.And for the upload purpose we need it to be much smaller, the issue is no matter what we delete, it doesn't change the file size, we even cleared the all file, including the Version History.It literally keep the same exact size 128mb, after download it to a local copy again.What are we missing here? Can you help?

Chrome version 142 will enable the Local Network Access policy, aka LNA (https://developer.chrome.com/blog/local-network-access). This will prevent plugins published within your organization from working because LNA requests within iframes will be restricted.The LNA policy will take effect on October 28, 2025. To experience the LNA policy: In Chrome, input chrome://flags/#local-network-access-check and enable the flag.  Is there any way to solve this problem?----Maybe this is a way to slove it, but plugin iframe is controlled by Figma.Google LNA Adoption Guide 

Previously, there were no limits on removing the background, but now it says that the limit is until the next day. And how many credits are given per day?

I'm experiencing a problem with my published design system in Figma. Although the system file containing components and variables has been successfully published and linked to other files, the color variables aren't showing up correctly in the list or grid views. I've already tried re-publishing the file, re-linking the library, checking for naming conflicts, confirming styles are properly defined and published, and clearing the Figma cache. Despite these efforts, the issue persists, which undermines the purpose of a centralized design system. Has anyone encountered this before or found a reliable workaround?Thanks  

Hey friends! Is anyone else having issues with Figma Make projects working great in the preview and then just giving a blank screen when published and accessed via the provided URL.I’ve tried refreshing the project, fully closing out Figma and reopening, even duplicating the project entirely and publishing that, but still getting the same issue. Have had some coworkers try the URLs as well and they similarly get blank screens. When I go into dev tools on the published site, the code is empty and has seemingly nothing from the project.Our hope was to test with users using Make prototypes since it’s a huge step up over testing on a static prototype, so would be amazing to figure out what might be causing this! 

I build a Figma Website for my Company and they use Microsoft Edge Broswser, Chrome and Firefox in Citrix. The Website loads and works in Firefox and Chrome Citrix. It also loads in Browsers outside citrix. But if i open it in Edge Citrix it shows nothing, loads only 2 menü points in the top and thats it. Is there any thing i can do ore a place i can get help? I know this may not be an easy fix but i dont even know where to start looking for the problem.

When I hover over the color link icon button which I created as a design token in the right panel, the link button disappears, so I can’t click it.

Hi everyone, I’ve been facing an ongoing Design System sync issue across multiple project files, and despite submitting detailed tickets to Figma Support, I haven’t received any response.Posting here in hopes that someone from the Figma team or community can help. Problem summary Components from our shared Design System are randomly breaking or desyncing across files. It started with an icon in a file uploader component that appeared oversized in one file, then moved to a modal background overlay, and now even affects button icons in other files. Replacing the affected component instance fixes it temporarily, but after a while the same issue appears again on different components or files.  Why I’m posting Since support hasn’t responded yet (Ticket #1569789 and #1560466), I’m posting here to see if anyone else is experiencing similar component desync or visual corruption issues across files, or if a Figma staff member can help escalate this. Any insights or workarounds would be greatly

Hey, I just published a Bootstrap Design System into a team library.  When I create a file, and import that library, I get the assets but not the variables.The variables were published, I confirmed that.  When I go to include the library in my file, it shows me all the variables included with that library.  But after including the library, and importing it, only the assets come in.  No variables.  Am I doing something wrong? Thanks guys!-Mike

I’m sending a get_code request to the Figma MCP server via Cursor AI.Here is the request body I’m using:{ "nodeId": "XXXX:XXXX", "clientLanguages": "kotlin", "clientFrameworks": "android,compose", "clientName": "cursor" } However, the response I receive is in JSX (JavaScript XML) format with Tailwind CSS classes, not Kotlin.I would expect either Kotlin code (Jetpack Compose) or at least a clean JSON representation of the selected frame.Question:How can I retrieve Kotlin code or a raw JSON object for the selected frame?

After updated figma as 125.9.10, cropping image one side by holding control key (the most powerful function!) doesn’t work any more. Holding ctrl key now acts as squeezing image. and double click to move and adjust cropped image also doesn’t work anymore. what happened to figma??  or is there something that I missed? I changed image type from fit to crop already.  

Figma just hit me with surprise charges and won't refund - anyone else?Ugh, I'm so frustrated right now. Figma basically scammed me out of $33.87 and their support is being useless about it.What went down: We're a tiny team, only need 2 seats. But somehow our June bill had these random "new seat costs" for $33.87 that I never asked for. Like... what?The breakdown:2 Full seats (what we actually use): $40 ✓ Mystery charges: $33.87 ❌Figma's excuse: "Oh you approved it!" - umm no I didn't? When?? Where's the proof?Apparently when you change seat types, they hit you with "prorated charges" on your NEXT bill. Who tf knows what that even means? They never explained it when it happened.Support has been trash:First person: gave me a wall of text that explained nothing Second person: basically said "tough luck, you used the seats" Third person: "no refund because reasons"The most annoying part: They keep saying I "approved" these upgrades but can't show me where/when I did that. Their system is

All my shared prototypes show a black screen today even though they were working just fine earlier.They are embedded into Confluence pages to share with my team.I see that this issue isn’t new. Is there a workaround?Thanks!

When clicking a certain component to review the updates, “Review updates” pop-up showed behind the “Manage libraries” and could not be brought to the fornt.

This is a revival of : Is there any news on this? I really would like to be able to move using the middle click without it catching the paste like other Apps like Excalidraw do.

I’m working in a file I haven’t used in about 6 months or so. Certain images in my figma files aren’t loading. I’ve tried on desktop and web. I’ve cleared my cache, force quite and reloaded, viewed in preview mode and nothing is working. I know there are a lot of issues due to aws outages, but I’m not sure if this is related, or if my images are corrupted in some way. Is anyone else experiencing this? 10.20.2025

Smart Animate breaks when animating width change on complex shapes while hovering but not on mouse leave…What is going on?Is this normal? 

Hi ! If you can help it’s wonderful ?I’ve been trying to connect a repository with Figma Make but each time on the figma website i have the same message popping “Could not create repository” in red on the bottom. I tried doing it on chrome and Safari, both failed. Do you have any ideas ?
