Dear Figma Team,

After updating to the latest software version, I’ve encountered a critical bug that severely impacts workflow. The issue is as follows:

When using a master component containing multiple nested elements (including many sub-components from other components with deep hierarchies), both the Figma desktop client and web version freeze completely upon copying, instancing, or duplicating this master component. All functionality becomes unresponsive for approximately 30-60 seconds until the operation completes.

Additionally, editing this master component (e.g., modifying text/data, toggling element visibility) results in extreme lag and unresponsiveness. This issue significantly disrupts productivity, especially in complex design systems.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Create/use a master component with deeply nested sub-components.

  2. Copy/instance/edit the component.

  3. Observe UI freeze and lag.

Requesting urgent prioritization for this performance regression. Thank you for your attention!
