Icon size glitch [new]

I have exactly the same issue. Had to stop working because everytime I opened a file my icons would mess up and there was no way back

Switching between component variants worked for me. Give it a try. 

The glitch is super random, icons work on some screens but act up on newer ones. 

I’m experiencing the same issue on my side as well.

All of our icon components are correctly set up (fixed size, no stretch, no auto-scaling, no local overrides), and the components themselves haven’t changed — but the instances inside Auto Layout suddenly appear much larger than their original size.

In my case:

• The icons look stretched or oversized when the file first loads

• Constraints and component structure are all correct

• No overrides were applied

• As soon as I double-click the instance, the size snaps back to the correct 24×24 (or original) value

• It feels like the layout engine is miscalculating instance size on load

• Happens across multiple files and multiple team members

We also checked:

• Rebuilding the icon components → issue still occurs

• Wrapping icons in a fixed-size frame → reduces the frequency but does not fully resolve it

• No custom overrides or broken variants

So it really seems like a recent Auto Layout / constraint engine regression rather than a component setup mistake.

I’m having the same issue. Every time I duplicate a frame that contains an icon instance (one or several), the icon shapes stretch automatically and spill out of their box or frame in the bottom-right corner. Sometimes I can command-click the vector shape and it snaps back to its normal size, but most of the time I have to detach the instance to fix it. When I detach it, the vector resizes and positions itself correctly on its own.

My colleague works on the same files with the same library and doesn’t have the issue. On my side I tried resetting Figma, uninstalling it, using it in the browser, switching accounts (even tried my colleague’s account that doesn’t have the glitch) and nothing worked. The glitch keeps happening every single time.

I did notice a few icons glitch earlier in November but nothing this bad. Now it happens every time I duplicate an icon so I basically can’t work in Figma unless I’m fine with slowly breaking our company files by detaching every icon.

We’re experiencing the same issue with icons in our design system over the last couple of days. It’s most noticeable with icons that have boolean operations and have duplicated.

For now, selecting the icon (or parent container) and pressing enter a few times seems to re-render/calculate the icons correctly. 

My team is experiencing the same issues. Vectors, specifically icons, are oversized and mis-aligned. Sometimes it can be fixed simply by clicking into it. Other times we’ve had to do an instance swap to the same icon to fix it. Definitely something that’s going to cost companies a lot in QA reviews if it’s not hot fixed.

Same here. I found that the issue happens when these icons are nested under a bigger component. If I detach the component, the icon will no longer glitch

Same issue here. I have to switch the component style to fix bug

Hey all - so sorry that it took us a while to respond. I did some research on my end to see if there had been existing updates around the time of these reports, and there was one that was flagged and mitigated.

Can any of you let me know if you still have scaling issues? If so, can you see if the issue is resolved now for new instances, and if running “Regenerate all instances (slow)” helps repair old instances? If you don’t know how to do that, you can open up the shortcut menu and type that action out to find it.

If not, please PM me and let me know. It would be very help if any files that continue to be problematic can be shared with our technical quality team.

Thank you so much for your patience 🙏🏻

​@ksn I had this issue with icons not so long ago, but it seems that its not happening again in my case. But now recently, we had a tooltip component that worked well and had no issues and suddenly one day started to make weird things with the background, I tried regenerating all instances and it swaps all the time, the issue only stops when I swap variants on the instance and then de height of the background get fixed, but when i leave the file and open it its glitched again i dont know why but is driving me crazy hehe.

¿What could I do?

Here is a video and a screenshot to understand better the issue. Video example

Thank you in advance for your time.
