Bug with reordering variants


Larry_Azevedo

If you go to the Edit variant property panel and try to grab one of the variants at the bottom of the list and drag it up, you will sometimes get the grab icon appearing in between items:

Hey ​@Larry_Azevedo, thanks for flagging this! 

We’ll pass this onto our team to investigate and fix.

  1. Same issue here, drag symbol doesn’t align after about 30+ variant values. Glitch happens after scrolling down for a while. Cause the same value get perfect alignment to start with, then past scrolling down, that same value now gets super wonky alignment with drag UI.
  2. Hovering over Variant value use to highlight the value in workspace (your busy component). I can’t remember the names of all my 185 icons, etc. Which one is the value I’m hovering over, is referring to in the component? Clicking target icon to highlight variant exists ‘Edit Variant Property’ list options. Most of the time that’s not the variant I was after and now I’m lost where I was in my long list of variants. Please add this highlight on hover feature again.
  3. Variants I grab on to drag in the right order, are no longer allowed to be dragged past the small window (only 8 variant values in view). How am I supposed to drag my latest variant (last) into the middle of even 30+ variant values?
  4. Some other glitchy bugs are happening. People have someone test this with at least 30+ variant values. It’s currently unusable for me.

 I literally can’t update my variants any more. Few more bugs around this for the last week.

Kindest regards

Same issue, it would be great to get this fixed as it’s just made the list messier.

Just adding my voice to this issue as it is causing issues for me multiple times a day as I’m managing a large design system. It might also be nice to have a keyboard shortcut to move a value up or down the list once selected.

I love the keyboard up/down idea.

Hey All, thank you for your patience! 

Our team hasn’t been able to consistently reproduce this behavior, even through creating enough variants to have the scrollbar appear. 

To help our team continue to investigate and work on a fix, please write in from your Figma account email, share your file, and add support-share@figma.com as an editor in a bug report here: https://help.figma.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

FWIW, I haven’t experienced this issue for the last 2 or 3 Figma updates so my assumption was that you guys already solved it (possibly by fixing a separate bug). I just tested it again with a property that has dozens of values and I’m not able to reproduce the original issue either.

Thanks for the followup!
