Hey ​@Mohamed Shantory — welcome to Figma Forum, and thanks for flagging this!

Sorry to hear about the lag you’re running into. Let’s take a closer look together. When this happens, do you also see a “memory running low” alert? If so, these steps may help stabilize things: Reduce memory usage in files → Tips for reducing memory.

If you’ve already tried those or the issue continues, our Technical Quality team can take a deeper look at the specific file. You can get that started by filling out this form and including:

  1. a link to this Forum post for context
  2. the link to the file where this is happening
  3. Can edit access granted to support-share@figma.com
  4. a short screen recording showing the issue in action

Thanks again for taking the time to surface this — let us know how it goes and we’ll help you get things running smoothly.
