Bug Report — Text Rendering Issue in Figma Prototype

Hey ​@Minh_Quang!

Thanks for your post and for detailing what you are seeing - it looks like you’ve done a fair amount of investigating yourself. You mention that it looks related to auto-layout/fixed height/content clipping. Was there something you toggled on/off or changed that led you to think one of those was the cause? I’m checking in with the team to see if there are any known reasons why this happens, but I was curious what might have led you to that when you were checking things with your file. 

One other question - does this happen consistently with all the paragraphs or just specific paragraphs?

Thanks!

I’m experiencing exactly the same bug. From what I’ve been able to gather, in my case it has nothing to do with Auto Layout or Clip Content. Nor does it have anything to do with the font used or its styles. I’ve tested it in a fresh draft and the problem seems to occur when the text exceeds 375–400 characters.

The bug only occurs in Google Chrome, but not in Safari or Firefox.

Thanks for checking into this.

I re-tested the file and confirmed it’s actually not related to auto layout, fixed height, or content clipping.

The issue seems to happen purely when the text block is a long paragraph. Even after removing/changing the layout settings, the problem still occurs in Prototype mode.

It also happens consistently across all long paragraphs, not just specific ones.

Another important detail:

• The issue only happens in Google Chrome

• Safari and Firefox both render the prototype correctly without any clipping/truncation

So from my testing:

• Not caused by Auto Layout

• Not caused by fixed height

• Not caused by Clip Content

• Happens with all long paragraph text blocks in the prototype

• Chrome-specific rendering issue

In Design mode everything renders correctly, but in Prototype mode on Chrome the text gets visually cut off/truncated.

Thanks for the detailed explanations, ​@Minh_Quang and ​@Azahara Justo. While I wasn’t able to recreate this myself, I can tell that you’ve both validated each other’s tests.

For my test, I did the following (please let me know if this is different from what you did): 

• Added a Frame and enabled auto-layout.
• Added a layer with a long excerpt of Lorem Ipsum.  
• Tested it as a prototype and it did not display anything strange.
• Added another layer to the frame of Lorem Ipsum - again did not see the cropping/clipping issue.

What version of Chrome are both of you using, and on what version of mac OS? I’m using Chrome Version 148.0.7778.179 (Official Build) (arm64) on mac OS Tahoe 26.4.1. 

Thank you for your reply, currently I’m using mac OS Tahoe 26.4.1, and Chrome Versión 148.0.7778.179 (Build oficial) (x86_64).

For my test, I did the same steps, and I've tried it both with and without auto-layout. I mean, the display issue doesn't change regardless of which mode I use.

Ok, thanks for confirming that we’re both using the same OS and browser version, ​@Azahara Justo. Also, ​@Minh_Quang, I checked and see that you have a case with our support team about this issue.

​@Azahara Justo, I went ahead and created a case for you as well. It definitely seems like the same issue, but I thought it best to do this in case there’s actually more than one cause. I also wanted to make sure you can get updates on any potential resolutions directly. You should get the email from shortly - let me know if you don’t see it. 

Cheers, and thanks for your patience!
