Question

AI agent COVERS UP SCREEN

I can’t resize objects without it getting in the way every time
I can’t close the prompt modal- it sits over my designs and I can’t even move it out of the way.

Hey ​@Anna161, thanks for reaching out!

A couple of things that should help:

  1. Turn off on-canvas prompting. Go to Main menu > Preferences and click Show AI Chat on canvas to turn it off (it's on by default). Right now, selecting a layer surfaces an Agents button next to it. Clicking that (or pressing Cmd/Ctrl + Enter) is what opens the prompt box on the canvas. Turning the preference off removes that on-canvas entry point entirely. You can still chat with the agent any time from Agents in the left navigation bar. It just won't pop up inline over your designs.
  2. If a prompt is actively running, click Stop in the chat box to end it.
  3. If a prompt box is already open and doesn't clear after that, try refreshing the file.

I've also passed along your feedback about not having a clear way to dismiss the prompt box once it's open, that's something the team's aware of.

For more on how the agent works in Figma Design, here's our guide: Work with the Figma agent in design files.

Let me know if turning off on-canvas prompting gets you back to resizing freely. Happy to dig further if it's still getting in the way.
