Copy Failed. Your selection might be too large for the clipboard

Hey hey ​@badinku 👋 That error popping up definitely not what should happen.

A couple things that'll help me pin this down:

• Could you send a quick screen recording of the steps you're taking, from selecting the style through the copy attempt? Specifically: are you right-clicking the style in the Styles panel and choosing "Copy style" (or using Ctrl/Cmd+C there), or are you selecting a layer/object and copying that?
• What OS and are you on the desktop app or in browser?

One thing worth checking in the meantime — copying a style itself works a bit differently than copying an object that has a style applied to it. Here's the doc on the intended flow

Thanks for the additional info! — Jaycee

Hi,
Facing this issue exactly, In all documents, even if they contain only a single style.

Figma Desktop App version 126.6.1
macOS:26.5 (25F71)

Well in such situation i copy half first then again half 😅

Hi ​@FarshadY, thanks for weighing in with that information. I tested this out and it worked as expected on my end. In my case, I'm running Figma Desktop App version 126.6.14 on macOS 26.5.2 — the closest I could get to what you reported.

Can you check for any pending updates to your OS and the Figma Desktop App, then give it another try?

If it's still happening, please let me know and share a screen recording of the issue if possible. That'll help us escalate it for further review.

Thanks for your collaboration here, everyone — we'll keep an eye out for further reports.

Hi, ​@Tom Reem 
Thank you for your response.

As you suggested, I upgraded my macOS to 26.5.2 (25F84) and my Figma Desktop app to 26.6.14, but the issue still persists.
I also tested the same issue in the Figma Beta Desktop app, and the problem occurs there as well.
Figma Beta Desktop App version 126.8.2

As shown in the attached screenshots, even in a new document with only a single style defined, I get this error as soon as I try to copy the style.

Hey ​@FarshadY, thank you so much for taking the time to confirm and test further. Appreciate you grabbing the screenshots too, that's super helpful.

I still haven't been able to reproduce this on my end, but I want to make sure it gets a closer look. I've just sent you an email with next steps for sharing file access securely, which will let our Technical Quality team dig in and escalate appropriately.

Please check your inbox for a message from me associated with case number: 2022852. We'll take it from there.

And to everyone following along on this thread — please keep us posted on any changes you're seeing. 🙏🏻

Hopefully this bug gets resolved soon. 🤞🏽

hi ​@Jaycee Lewis here is the screen recording
and also  the OS is Windows 11 pro Version    10.0.26200 Build 26200

Hi,

Whenever I copy an element from a frame (screen), pasting it will paste that element in the same frame, even if I click somewhere totally different. If I don’t select a frame to paste it in, that’s what happens. It’s insanely annoying, I wanna paste it on the canvas, at a big distance from the frame I copied it from, I think it was posible in the past, too bad it’s no longer the case. Extremely annoying.
Thanks

Hey ​@badinku, appreciate you confirming your OS information, and sending the screen recording. I've flagged your report internally with those details, and we'll follow up here as soon as we have next steps.

Thanks for reporting this — we'll update this thread once engineering has more to share.

This is happening to me as well on MacOS 26.5.2 (25F84)

Thank you for letting us know, ​@iworktoomuch.

We're keeping a close eye on this and will return to this thread as soon as the fix has been released. Thank you all for your continued patience.

Hi ​@Tom Reem 
Thank you very much to you and the technical team for your continued support.

The copy-paste method using the keyboard shortcut works, and I think it's a very effective temporary workaround until the issue is fully resolved.

Works… thanks for this workaround.. 👍🏼

Tested and working as expected 🚀  

Big ups to everyone 🥳

Hi ​@Tom Reem ,

The issue is fully resolved now, and I can use styles with all copy-paste methods!

Thanks so much for your follow-up and support! 🙏
