Figma keeps constantly reloading

@ksn done :-)

That's the main reason people I know have hated Figma in the last two years, it's funny to read this, I hope you will fix this someday

ty ​@Rasmus Schultz! I see a member of our Technical Quality team sent a message your way. Let me know if you didn’t receive it.

​@ksn I haven’t had the problem today! looks like you fixed it :-)

​@ksn nope, today it’s happening again… I think maybe it only happens while other people have the same document open? not sure.

​@ksn okay, so to be clear, it’s now only doing the “loading” thing, but it no longer loses my location in the document. the delay here is still kind of annoying, but at least it’s usable now...

Hey, I’m having the same issue for a few months now (desktop app) and I still don’t know why it’s happening.

Figma keeps reloading constantly. I’m currently in the UI Research phase for 3 projects, and every file I work on has the same problem — Figma reloads all the time whenever I zoom in/out or copy and paste images between sections.

I’ve tried several things like resetting Figma and reducing the image sizes, change to figma beta, create new files and repaste everything in the new file, but the issue continues. I really need a fix for this bug.

Figma used to be a very reliable app before all these recent changes in the company. The main focus should still be Figma Design — it’s the core product!

My guess is that it could be a bug related to some specific image format — maybe something generated by the Windows screenshot shortcut app. I’m not sure, but something is definitely happening. I know images can be heavy, but I’ve worked with huge files full of high-res assets before and this never happened. It was slow sometimes, yes, but it never constantly reloaded like this.

Now it’s actually harder to work than before, and it shouldn’t be like that. Please help, I really can’t take this anymore — it’s extremely frustrating.

If needed, I can share the file. It’s still early in the process, so it won’t affect any NDA.

Hey ​@ksn

Can you help me with this? I can share the file — actually all 3 files — if needed, since they’re all in the same stage and all of them show the same issue. Because of this constant reloading bug, it’s getting really hard for me to make progress on these projects.

It would be really helpful to get some support here, since this seems to be a Figma bug of some kind.

thanks in advance for the assist

This keeps happening to me too on the desktop app.  It’s so frustrating, especially when it takes a while to reload.  Moreover, it sometimes takes you to a different area after reloading which disorients you.
