Hi

Figma is now super slow.

Just selecting and moving objects around has become a bad experience.

This is major.

Is it because of the thumbnails new feature (constant refresh)?

Please allow us to turn it off.

Thank you

Hey Ricardo, thanks for bringing this up! I’m sorry you’re experiencing these slowdowns.
To help us investigate, please reach out to our support team directly and include a bit more information in the form here: Submit a bug report

  • Are you on the desktop app, browser, or both?
  • When did you first notice the slowdowns?
  • Is it happening in just one file or across multiple files?
  • Is it consistent or intermittent?
  • Have you tried restarting or resetting Figma, and did it help?
    If possible, please share a screen recording, a link to the file, and grant edit access to support-share@figma.com.


    That will really help us get to the bottom of this. Thank you!

Hi ​@Celine_ 

Thank you for the quick feedback.

I’ve already sent the feedback with the video.


I have a video but I’m not sure on how to send it.

Meanwhile I've realized it happens each time I touch/select a new object/element. Or by clicking or by window selecting.
As you can see in the attached video (sorry, it doesn't have a touch visual behaviour) it has a delay when I select.
It's not a delay on the video, it's really like that. And it feels worst because you can't see  in the video when I really click.
Never happened before.
The new thumbnails in the Layers panels may be related?
To be honest, I don't like them - at least in all the layers - maybe just at the top? Or customizable?
 
Thank you
