I opened my Figma today and saw the announcements of what launched at Config. However I could not read most of it, as the text was cut off.
I use lower resolution (1168x755) to make text bigger on my laptop (MacBook Pro 16”), so I presume this is why the popup content was truncated. I often see this issue on the web in general – a button falls outside the viewable UI, text gets cut off, etc. Usually I need to temporarily zoom out in order to be able to access the button or whatever (although this is not an acceptable solution). In Figma I tried using the usual hotkeys for zoom Cmd +/Cmd -, and nothing happened (I have since discovered it’s called “Interface Scale” and uses different hotkeys). There was also no way to scroll, resize, expand this modal popup. The only solution, I presumed, would have been to change my screen resolution and I am not prepared to do that.
There is a reason I have my settings the way they are – because I need them that way. I should not need to compromise my ability to see things clearly in order to access parts of your product. Especially when the part of the product I’m trying to access is text – there’s no point me changing my settings to make text visible if I’m not able to read that text because it’s now too small for me.
Please do better at making Figma accessible for magnification users. You launch all this new functionality but seem to be skimping on the fundamentals of making your product accessible to everyone. I would expect a design tool to follow the basic principles of accessible design.
