This feature is not working anymore on MacOS on the newest version 125.6.5 (I have this issue on my Macbook Pro M4 and Mac mini M2). Fortunately, my Windows PC is still working.
If anyone has this issue, please help me raise this up to Figma!

SAME it’s slowing down my workflow exponentially 


I have been having the same issue again. Around 5 months ago the web browser started to do this to me. So i moved onto the desktop and i havent had any issues until this week with this new update. Its not registering my pastes, it uses my previous copy and paste. its slowing down my and my teams workflow 


The current workaround for me is to 1st click on the interaction lines, then select the interaction on the right panel and copy it. 3x slower but we have no choice! 


Having the same issue, lately things are so unreliable, basic features break, I can’t sort variants, can’t copy prototype nodes, I can’t keep working with a tool that I can’t rely on.


Same issue here, copy/pasting interactions no long work on v125.6.5 in combo with macOS Sequoia 15.5 


I am currently unable to do this now for some reason… something I could do just a week or so ago. And yes, a big part of my workflow as others have stated…. I would setup something like this…. After selecting a component that is part of a larger component, within a component set. Think of… tabs in a tab bar, where the tab bar is duplicated 4 times, once for each tab being selected. For Tab 1, I have it set up to change to the variant where Tab 1 is selected, and set a variable (say TABSELECTED to TAB1), that way, I can have that variable control other parts of the UI. Anyway - I want to copy this and then select all the other Tab 1’s in the component set and paste that same interaction pattern. It’s not working. It got it to work ONCE a min ago, but I can’t tell what I did differently. I’ve tried all kinds of things from hitting CTRL-C after clicking the arrow, after moving around the window the arrow produces, after going to the right hand panel and selecting the click interaction, as well as moving around the window overlay that produces and hitting CTRL-C and no dice. I rely on this copy paste function A LOT. I don’t know why they don’t just have “Copy Interactions” as a context menu option. There are so many missed opportunities in Figma. it amazes me daily just how many usability mistakes this application has. If I could speak to them I’d suggest working on existing, but hidden, or broken capabilities first, before adding new interesting features. 


The current workaround for me is to 1st click on the interaction lines, then select the interaction on the right panel and copy it. 3x slower but we have no choice! 

Thank you for this!


Hello everyone, thanks so much for flagging this — I’m sorry for the disruption it’s caused to your workflows.

From what I’ve seen in your reports, this issue may be related to a recent bug our engineering team resolved last week. For more context, you can check out what other community members experienced here: Can't copy and paste images as background fill anymore.

When you have a moment, please make sure you’re running the latest version and refresh the tab you’re working in.

If the copy/paste issue continues after that, please reply here with the exact steps leading up to the problem. I’ll be monitoring this thread and ready to assist further. 🙏🏻
