"Hide when publishing" doesn't work

Yesterday I noticed the “Hide when publishing” option no longer works properly.

In my main component library, I have a component that is intended to be used locally for documentation and it used to be unpublished. Now, it is visible in other files, and when I find that component in the Assets panel and right-click it, it only shows “Show when publishing” even though it is clearly published. Clicking this option does nothing and on the next right-click it still says “Show when publishing”.

Has anyone else run into this, and can you help me resolve it?

 

Edit: this issue is present on the native app on both MacOS and Windows.

    Hey ​@Viktorija_Zajcic ,
    Thank you for flagging it! Is it happening on browser, desktop app or both? And does the issue happened in a supported browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge)?

    If it happens in these supported browsers and/or desktop app, can you try clearing your app and browser cache and check if if this clears the issue? To clear the Figma desktop app cache, you can follow the steps in this article: https://help.figma.com/hc/en-us/articles/22380853110551-Clear-the-Figma-desktop-app-cache

    If the issue still occurs, please reach out directly to our support team so they can investigate it further: Submit a bug report

    Make sure to use your Figma email account, mention the steps you have done and share a URL of the affected file and add support-share@figma.com as an Editor (this won't affect your billing at all) so our support team can take a closer look. Thank you!
