Bug with Variables panel - Pasting content into the design

Hi there,

Thanks for flagging. I’m checking with our internal team. I will get back to you when I have anything I can share with you.

Thanks for your patience.

Hello everyone,
Since the last Figma update, I can no longer copy the text of variables (such as color codes) and paste them elsewhere on the page while keeping the variables panel open at the same time. I have to close the panel if I want to paste the text. As far as I’m concerned, this is a bug.

Thanks for your future replies.

Thanks for pointing this out. Our internal team is aware of the issue, but we can’t guarantee when it will be fixed. For now, you can right-click and select “paste” as a workaround to paste onto the canvas.

I’ll merge this into the existing topic so we can track it together.

Thanks for your understanding.

When I open the local variable page, I can’t copy text from the UI. It seems like ctrl+c doesn’t work. I can’t copy.

Hi all @Lucas_Orellanos @DBeguin @Runz

Thanks for flagging this issue. Our engineering team has fixed it. Could you try reloading the tab and then copying and pasting something with the variables panel open? It works on my end now.

I hope this resolves the issue, but please feel free to let me know if it persists!

Thanks,
Toku
