Visual bug in Figma: message sent via / shortcut appears behind the Annotation component, making it hard to read.

While navigating through the file, we identified an overlay issue in Figma’s interface: when using the chat feature (triggered via the / keyboard shortcut), the message sent remains positioned behind the Annotation element, making it partially or completely unreadable.

This behavior hinders real-time communication among team members and affects the ability to follow interactions directly within the layout. The expected behavior is that the chat message layer should maintain visual priority or automatically adjust its position to avoid conflicts with documentation elements in the file.

Hi ​@Victor_Oliveira1,

 

Thanks so much for flagging this, outlining the steps to reproduce, and sharing the screenshot — super helpful.

 

I just tested this in my own file, and it looks like the issue may have been resolved since your initial report. On my file, the message now appears correctly positioned above the annotation element. If you're still seeing the issue, please check that you're on the latest version of the app (125.4.9 for desktop) or that your browser is up to date if you're using Figma on the web.

 

Definitely understand how important it is for your team communication to be clear — let me know if it’s still happening on your end, and we’ll take a closer look!
