Horizontal resizing issues when changing variables

I’ve noticed a bug in Figma, where all Fill resizing fallbacks onto Fixed when changing Layer variables… Is this expected ? It really is a pain a the moment… Anyone having this issue ?

Variables are marked as modified but no changes were made

We have a design system file that is showing changes that need to be published, for 192 variables and any component that uses those variables. However, neither of the two team members who have access to edit have made any changes. The version history shows a few auto saves over the last few days, but no work was actually done. This is very concerning and we’re not sure what to do or why these would be showing up as changes. Additionally it would be GREAT if the main files would have the same feature that branches do, to show was changed before you publish.

Presentation Flow Sidebar Links Do Not Follow Navigation

Figma provides a sidebar where we can assign a “Flow Starting Point.” We can assign them to all of our frames and use the sidebar during presentation to click to navigate to a point. Love that! It even allows for a description of each frame. Great. As you click a point in the sidebar, the check mark shows that is the frame that you have navigated to. Great. However… When navigating through a presentation by clicking interactions within your frames…the sidebar does not follow. By nature, IF I click a link that takes me to a frame that has a Flow Starting Point associated with it, the sidebar should indicate my position by setting the checkmark by the active page. This does not happen. Not great. This leaves viewers looking at a selected item in the sidebar that is NOT the actual frame that they are viewing. Not sure how this has gone this long without correction. I feel I may be the only one detailed enough and OCD enough who uses the sidebar. 🙀

Dev mode not showing the same variable name as design mode

I initially named a variable as background/buttons/primary. Later, this was changed to Cta/primary/default. I updated the variable name throughout the design environment, and the old variable name is no longer present. However, the same component now shows a different variable name in design and development modes. When I changed the color to another value, the variable updated correctly. But when I used a variable with the same color value, it reverted to the old variable name, which no longer exists. Could you please help me resolve this issue? Dev mode: Design mode

Component publishing loop after moving component

Hi! Something very unusual happened today: I moved some master components from a file to another, as I have done may times before [cut > paste > publish]. I immediately notice that some of the pasted components were flagged as “invalid” and decided to history revert the changes, after that the trouble begun. Once the components were reverted in the original file, they asked to be published again. After doing that all the instances of those components (both in the same and other files) lost the connection to the master components and asked to “restore component”. When I try to restore the component, the restored master asks to be updated, only to cause the instance to lose the connection again and ask a new “restore component”. An infinite component publishing loop. Furthermore, no matter how far I go in the history, this problem persists and I can’t seem to get rid of it. Any ideas on what could have happened? Thank you very much in advance!

Huge bug regarding Auto-layout?

For days now, every time I try to copy/clone an element from an auto-layout and paste or move it outside of this auto-layout, in many cases the element starts to “glitch” and it becomes impossible to drag it across the canvas correctly. Its origin point seems to have shifted, and when I try to move it, the center of movement is not associated with the pointer, but with a position 10-20-30px further away both vertically and horizontally. Moreover, any keystroke (right, left, up, down… any!) to move the element any number of pixels (it could be 1px, 8px, 10px…) causes the element to shift a fixed number of pixels (even in decimals) that has nothing to do with the input given. This is becoming exasperating and forces me to copy, paste, delete, and re-paste each element every time I do this. It’s a disaster… Is anyone else experiencing this? I can’t believe no one else is going through the same problem.

Figma protoptye embed not working on mobile

Text property gets reset when variant is set by a variable

I’m working on creating a reusable radio component for my team, and I’m now seeing this weird interaction. I have the variant for each radio bound to a local variable, and I set the Not Selected variant for the other radios when one is selected. The issue I’m seeing is that when the other radios are set to the “Not Selected” variant via this bound local variable, the Text property for the label is reset to the value set in the main component. The expected text returns when I hover over the button to trigger the “Change” to the Hover variant. Is this a bug, or am I just going about this all wrong…?

SVG node.exportAsync bug with image fill position

Good morning @Figma I am experiencing a bug with Figma’s node API exportAsync when format is SVG_STRING. If you have an image fill and position the fill so its smaller than the containing node dimensions the exported SVG string incorrectly sets the css transforms value for image positioning. This image highlights the issue where you can see the exported SVG as a white area on right side of SVG because the css transforms values are incorrectly calculated. Here’s a link to a Figma design file that reproduces the issue: https://www.figma.com/design/e2y0xU3X5duxDuYbIByacQ.

"Resolve conflicts" is erasing all the changes in the branch

Hi, I have a branch of the file with various changes to components. When I try to merge it, it tells me that there are some things conflicting with the main file. I go to solve them, I choose to keep all the branch changes and after I apply the changes, the branch just looks like my main file (as if I hadn’t done any changes at all). I restored the branch to a previous version and tried again, no matter what I do, the branch “loses” all the changes that I did. So basically I have a branch that I cannot merge since I can’t pass the “solve conflict” stage.

Mask disappears on instance animation, but works with main component

In this design I’m trying to make it so the animated black text has an animated gradient masked on top on hover. There seems to be a lot of strange behaviors when turned into a component to add the swap instance on hover. In the file you can see the non component animation, the main component, and the instance. Check out the prototype to see how the behavior changes. I noticed a weird behavior that it works a bit better if the main component is in the same frame as the instance. Figma – 30 Jul 24

LAUNCHED: Figma Slides - Styles (Grid, Text)

Am i missing something here or i just can’t create a custom grid size ? Or would it be related to the fact that we can’t create custom presentations with pro plans ? It’s strange since we can have custom colors (the same way Figma design does). Also, you can use different text styles but can’t create your own.

Drag Interaction not working when component is fixed

Hi, So for some context, I’m trying to prototype a scrollable overlay on a mobile design to replace a dropdown menu. From what I understood a scrollable overlay is not possible using the overlay prototype option. To achieve that effect I duplicated my main frame and then fixed the whole content in the back, both frames have the same overlay components with different opacity and position to allow me to simulate the move in animation. On my “Overlay Frame” I fixed a component that has 5 variants and to move from one variant to the other there is a drag interaction. The issue is that I can’t use the drag interaction when this component is fixed on the page. Is there a conflict between the drag interaction of a component and the fixed position of that component within the page? I don’t know if that makes sense, here is the link to the file: https://www.figma.com/design/KWIPZkqs4LIUtSEMXSf2PU/Decobec.com---[E-commerce]?node-id=95-2101 Thank you!

So I have Inner and Drop shadow effects added to a shape but the effect doesn’t show when I go to make show my design in Prototype mode? Does anyone know a work around to fix this. This is what the image is supposed to look like. Image should be transparent in the middle. When going into prototype mode, this is what appears.

Figma library logo variants selected by variables are not loading when files reloaded

We have logos in a library file, as well as headers and footers in another library file. The headers include instances of the logo component. We use variables to determine which logo variant is loaded into a header. When using these headers in design files, we find that the logos intermittently load or not load. Is there a Figma loading issue for library images that is occurring? Very frustrating! We had a feature working we thought, and now when stakeholders look at designs, the headers are missing logos. The instance is in the layers tree, it just does not show. To get it to show, sometimes changing the variable to another brand will load the logo in the header within the design. Great, but then as soon as you reload the design file or someone else opens it elsewhere, the logo is not visible again. This is a bug as far as I can see.

Misplaced interaction areas after scrolling

Hello everyone, recently we have noticed strange behavior of interaction areas in some prototypes. For example, it happens more often that interaction areas of a button are no longer on the button itself after scrolling in the prototype, but are moved somewhere in the prototype. As a result, the prototype can logically no longer be used as the buttons are no longer clickable. In the attached image you can see the highlighted hotspot box of a button floating somewhere in the wrong place. Does anyone have similar problems and perhaps an idea or solution as to why? Cheers, Sven

Adding an Admin or changing Owner of a team should cascade down into sub projects

I just rolled of a contract project, and Figma’s handoff sucks. I request to better automate and cascade user permissions. Situation: My fellow designer Winnie was taking over my design work I was rolling off from. As part of the transfer, first I made Winnie the Admin of the parent team. BUT as Admin, they did not have edit rights that cascaded down in to the sub-projects and files. Then I made Winnie to full Owner of the parent team. BUT even as the team owner, they were blocked at an at-team level for each sub-project. AND Ownership didn’t cascade down into the sub-projects. As a bug-report / feature request, my expected behavior would be: If a team member is elevated to Admin of a team, or Owner of team, that cascades down into all sub-projects belonging to that team automatically. Thus granting at least edit capability for Admins, and automatically makes the new team Owner the Owner of all sub-projects unless some manual override is done. BUT actual behavior is: Promote team me

Autolayouts : Switching between vertical and horizontal orientations breaks frame from intended set value

Since the recent updates, the autolayout frame resizing functionality has been experiencing issues. Specifically, when switching between horizontal and vertical orientations, all child layers are reverting from their intended “fill” or “hug” behaviors to a “fixed width” constraint resulting in the inner layrs no loner being responsive. This unexpected change in layout behavior is causing disruptions in the overall design production. See Video for example

SAVING TO CLOUD icon not disappearing

Hi guys, Why is the SAVING TO CLOUD icon near the avatar never go away sometimes? I do have a big file and sometimes I change something tiny and all hell breaks loose. Performance plummets and the SAVING icon and snackbar are always there. Why? How do I fix this? Please don’t roll out new features before fixing bugs, it’s really annoying. My job is to design, not to debug and find bug workarounds. Thank you kindly, Chris

Auto Layout: Frames in instances turn into absolute positioned elements

In my main component, I have a state-layer, which has an auto layout applied to it. The frame inside is not absolute positioned. When I jump to my Instance, suddenly the frame is positioned absolute and i can’t change anything about it. This leads to a false behaviour of my components. I guess it’s a bug or am I missing something?
