Component variant properties break every time — reproducible bug on double-click rename

Hello Figma Support team,

I've identified a reliably reproducible bug in my design system library: every time I double-click a variant in the left panel to edit it a second time, the variant name breaks.

The Prop=Value, Prop=Value name format (e.g. Type=Regular, State=Default) gets overwritten and replaced with just the values, without the property names (e.g. Regular, Default). The right-hand panel then shows "This layer has an invalid name" and the property dropdowns switch to "—".

I tested this on 2 component sets to confirm reproducibility before risking further damage across the rest of the library — the bug happens consistently, so I consider my entire library at risk if I continue editing variants normally.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open an existing component set with variants already correctly named (Prop=Value, Prop=Value)
  2. Double-click a variant's name in the layers panel to edit it a second time
  3. The name gets overwritten automatically

What I need:

  1. Confirmation/fix for this bug before I continue editing the rest of my library

Please prioritize this, it is currently disrupting our production team.
Thank you,
Caroline

Hi ​@mark.braithwaite, thanks for confirming that the original issue appears to be resolved, and I appreciate you calling out this behavior.

I'm checking with the team to confirm whether the variant layer names displaying the full property string is expected and I'll share an update here as soon as I hear back.

Thanks again for flagging it!

Hi ​@Celyn_L , thank you for fixing this bug so quickly. It's fixed and it's working quite well. However, I'm experiencing the same behavior and feedback as ​@mark.braithwaite. It's true that it works, but it's not very practical.

Hi ​@mark.braithwaite and ​@Caroline Matter, thanks for your patience here.

A fix for this was rolled out a little while ago, and I just wanted to check in to see if you're still experiencing this behavior.

If you haven't already, could you please refresh the tab you're working in and let me know whether you're still seeing the full string displayed on the variant layer name?

Thanks!
