Recently, I started using AI to generate images in Figma, and overall it’s been working well for me. However, I’ve encountered an issue with the new image editing feature:
When I place the cursor within a word to edit, as soon as I start typing, the cursor jumps to the end of the prompt paragraph instead of staying where I placed it. I’ve tried multiple times, but I’m not sure what’s causing this issue.
Hey
If you could include the following info, that would be super helpful:
If it only happens in one file, can you share edit access to that with support-share@figma.com, and then include the name of that file in your submission? Our tech quality team can take a peek to see if they can replicate.
Let me know if you run into trouble doing that.
Hi! That's definitely a frustrating bug - the "edit prompt" feature should work smoothly, especially when you're trying to refine your results.
I've seen similar issues reported where Figma's AI generation gets stuck or doesn't respond to prompt edits properly. A few things that sometimes help:
Quick troubleshooting:
Alternative solution: If you're still having issues and need to keep working, you might want to try Calino as a backup. It's an AI image generator plugin I built for Figma that handles prompt editing differently - you can iterate on prompts without the same technical hiccups that sometimes affect the native tool.
Since it uses a separate system, it tends to be more stable for prompt iterations and gives you multiple variations to choose from each time.
You can find it by searching "Calino" in the Figma Community plugins.
For reporting the bug: Definitely submit this through Figma's official bug report if you haven't already - the more reports they get about specific AI generation issues, the faster they can fix them.
Hope you can get back to designing smoothly! Let me know if the troubleshooting steps help or if you run into other issues.
