Why is copying and pasting not working? if i try copying a frame only the text inside of it will be copied not the entire frame. Anyone got a fix or dealing with the same issue? if i right click that doesn’t work and if i do CTR + C and CTR + V it works.
I have the exact same issue and it’s persisted for over a week now:
Furthermore, paste styles also doesn’t work which makes it impossible to apply a complex style from one shape to another!
Hey
Could you let me know if this issue is happening in the browser or the desktop app? Have you tried clearing your cache?
For the desktop app: Clear Desktop Cache
For browsers, here are guides for each:
Please make sure you're running the latest version of Figma.
Let me know if clearing the cache resolved the issue for you, thank you!
- When I paste, only the text is pasted, never the shapes
- I can cmd-c + cmd-v to copy and paste (which is what I have now started to do)
- However, when I copy paste styles, it never works, and this is a crucial feature
Bump - this issue is continuing to persist, does anyone have any issues with copy/paste like me and OP here?

Hey
I’ll pass this onto the team as they continue to work on the fix. Others in the community have confirmed that it’s only happening in browser as well.
As a temporary workaround, if possible, we do encourage users to use the desktop app until we’ve made more progress towards a fix.
