It is very annoying that there’s no horizontal scroll on the tabs bar in Figma Desktop app. I want to have a lot of files open at the same time, but when the tabs get too many and they go under the horizontal fold, there’s no way to see or access them except for using the keyboard shortcuts.


At some point, I don’t even know how many tabs are hidden from my view 🤷


Please add the ability to scroll or introduce some better tab management.

Thanks for your thought! I have shared this feedback with our internal team and we’ll consider it for future improvements.


When there are many tabs open, there is no handling of tab overflowing. I can’t access many tabs.


Hi @Hong_Peng, Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I understand how painful this situation is!

I found the other community member asking for something similar here. So I merged your post to have all the feedback in one place.

Feel free to to give this idea a vote up!


Thanks,



  1. Overflow not being present is very annoying

  2. Even better, being able to actually manage those tabs (for those who use many) would be a life-changer (cough grouping?)


Hey,


Not sure if you all facing this problem, I usually face this every time when I open multiple files for multiple projects, some file goes hidden, I need to close few Figma files to see them and also file names are not shown clearly. I just like how google chrome handles this problem. Created some idea on that which will help with this problem.



Kind of relatedly, when I have tab overflow, I’m unable to move the window from my smaller laptop screen to my larger monitor screen. I have to close out of some tabs to make room, after which I can then move the window itself. Small annoyance but there’s gotta be a way to solve for this? Thanks.


Screenshot shows small sliver of space required to move the window. When tabs overflow, that space doesn’t exist.
