Increasing amount of bugs

Hi,

Over de last few weeks our team is experiencing more and more inconvenient and work impeding bugs in Figma. Over the last few days we’ve been struggling to find workarounds for instances for which the ‘Variants could not be loaded’. It’s really awkward and unreliable if we design something and random things cause the designs to change. To name some that really affect our collaboration with other teams:

• Instances of components sometimes appear empty (this seems to be related to slots?).
• Changing properties for components with slots no longer work if the content within the slots was edited.
• Placement of layers seems ‘off’, until the layer is selected and automatically restores its placement.
• Instances of components that are inserted (Shift + i) are completely empty and void of layers.
• Copying main components from our spec files to our UI kit causes the variants to become duplicated within resulting in twice the number of variants and causing conflicts. (I’ve raised a support ticket for this.)
• Opening or reloading a design file causes some layers to change from filling the height to hugging the height or vise versa. (This, again, can most often be fixed by selecting the layer.)
• Inability to edit text layers until I reload a design file.
• Crashes of plugins when used with layers in slots, most notably Contrast.

I assume that a lot of work is being done for the upcoming Config, but I’ve lost so much time over the last 2 days in trying to deal with these issues. I would really appreciate if Figma can prioritize fixing their bugs before introducing new features.
