This is absolutely unacceptable.
I just lost 4 hours of intense client work due to a massive, game-breaking glitch in Figma.
I was working inside an Auto-Layout group when – without any action on my part – the entire design on the canvas completely vanished into a blank frame. This is NOT a local issue, as the exact same corruption appears both in the macOS Desktop App and via Web Browser.
Here is proof that this is a critical backend/cloud corruption and not user error:
-
Broken UI Elements: As seen in my screenshot, the entire layers panel is completely glitched. All the icons next to the layers have turned into blank square boxes. Layers have randomly lost or changed their names.
-
Total Fail of Version History: The "Show Version History" feature is completely broken for this file. It fails to render any previous states and only shows blank previews. I cannot restore ANY previous work.
-
Cross-Platform Issue: The bug persists everywhere. I tried checking the file on the macOS app and via browser (Chrome/Safari) – the artboard is completely dead on both.
-
Standard Troubleshooting Done: Checked for accidental masks, hidden layers, wireframe mode, and opacity. Cleared app cache. Nothing works. The file structure is fundamentally corrupted on Figma’s backend.!!!!!!!!!!!
This is a critical cloud synchronization or file corruption bug. I am now facing a missed deadline and hours of wasted progress.
