Hi I just experienced my figma running slow especially when moving, copy-pasting, and deleting components. I have clear the cache browser, reset, checking internet connections and reset & restarting the desktop app but despite all the efforts it’s still slow and laggy on both chrome browser and desktop app.

I’m running figma in Macbook Pro M4 Pro 13” updated to MacOS Tahoe 26.1.
This is not an issue before this, just happened last week after new update.

Need some support help regarding this issue. Thanks

Thanks for following up! I’m really glad to hear it’s working now!
 

After checking with our engineers, we found that a recent change around the timeframe you mentioned was causing degraded performance when copying, pasting, and similar actions.
We’ve since released a fix for this, which is why things are working again now.

If this ever happens again, feel free to make a new Forum post or submit a ticket — that would be really helpful!
Thanks,

          Hey ​@Shiri_Shilo1, thanks for flagging this!

          Let’s try to narrow this down. A couple of quick questions first:

          • Are you experiencing the lag in the desktop app, browser, or both?

          • If it’s in the browser, which browser are you using?

          • Have you tried disabling any browser extensions?

          • Does the same behavior occur if you switch to a different network or temporarily disable any VPN or proxy?
             

          To check if your desktop app is up to date:

          • Open the Figma app

          • Click Figma in the top menu

          • Select Check for updates

           

           

           

           

           

           

           

           

           

           

           

           

          We recommend keeping the desktop app updated to the latest available version. If you are not on the latest version, a message will display in the app prompting you to update. If your computer is managed by your company, you may need to contact your administrator to update the app.

          If you’re already on the latest version, could you try reinstalling the desktop app and see if that helps? 

           

          Thank you for your help!
