Pasting outside frames

Current behaviour: When I have no frame selected, the item(s) I have copied is pasted inside the frame I copied it from — or pasted into some other random frame. Expected behaviour: When I have no frame selected, the item(s) I have copied are pasted at the top level, and no inside any other frame. Note: Not sure how Figma have got this so wrong. I’m currently having to create a new file to paste things into just to avoid this unexpected behaviour. I know it’s been an issue for a while, which makes it more frustrating it hasn’t been fixed yet.

Unable to nest components

Are there any restrictions on when components can be nested into each other? I’ve created 2 components, added 2 instances to a frame but it won’t let me nest them. Is this a bug or am I missing something? I’ve tried via drag & drop and via ctrl+x / ctrl+v but nothing works.

Negative autolayout gap bug

I needed to put a negative number in for the vertical gap in a wrap autolayout, but Figma doesn’t let you use negative numbers there. However, it does let you use a negative number for the horizontal gap. What’s weird is that I can use a negative number in a variable and use that variable for the vertical gap. So there’s a workaround, but it seems like I shouldn’t have to create a variable just for that.

Unable to get detached info

Hi! I am developing a codegen plugin and would like to process detached components. If I paste a component from remote library and detach it, detachedInfo property contains {type: 'local', componentId: '-1:-1'} so I can’t get any data about main component. However, Figma itself keeps link to main component as I can see it in the interface.

Arrow keys nudging doesn't work properly

When the alignment buttons are clicked, nudging your selection get “disabled” because the button focus still remains on the alignment buttons. Because of that, the arrow keys scrolls up and down the right sidebar instead of nudging your selection. Once you click out of the alignment buttons, the focus returns to your selection, and nudging works again. This also happens when you click the [+] autolayout button; the click focus stays on that button. When you remove the autolayout by clicking the same button, the same issue persists.

DM Sans bugged in prototype mode

Here we go… Figma doesn’t work well with DM Sans font in prototype mode, for people who don’t have it installed locally. Special symbols (like arrows ->) are replaced with emojis, and some text sections are disappearing completely. Switch back to the design file, and everything is fine there. The funny thing is that the right font is displayed for a few milliseconds before Figma starts to display the bugged one (I guess because it needs some time to load the bugged font, while displaying what’s came from the design source). Seems like Figma is pulling an old Google font in the prototype mode. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Random files opening

Hey there, Every day that I turn my mac on, the Figma auto launches with the files that I had left open previously. However, it keeps opening another file that I don’t interact with. Any idea what’s happening and how to stop this specific file to being opened? No, I can’t delete the file 😅 Thanks

Instances not rendering via Layer Variable config

I’ve reported this bug but not news so far… I have a complex table component, which has many Cells instances. I use variable to configure the table to my needs. Cells height, Starting column, trailing column, theme… I have this bug which for some reason when swapping variant via variable it fails to render the instance. It loads all layers in the layer panel but won’t render the shapes on the canvas… I have a video showing the issue with a file after a while and the second part in a new file. The second video shows that this issue is only happening on older files. The instances load fine when the file is new… Demo EDIT: Just noticed that once the file is idle or closed and reopened the variant change via variables does not work anymore… Bug playground:Figma – 7 May 24

Drop Shadows aren't animated

When creating dissolve or smart animations the drop shadow and inner shadow properties aren’t animated as expected. Since browsers support animations of this property I hope Figma will fix this. Example (This should be smoothly animated the focus drop shadow ring)

Open Sans Italic is displaying incorrectly

There appears to be a bug with Open Sans Italic. It’s displaying as super bold - even bolder than Bold Italic. This is a Google Font so it’s a default font in Figma, we didn’t upload it ourselves. Anyone else having this issue?

"File has unsaved changes" message bug

I keep getting this message, saying I’m offline and that the changes aren’t synced. Additionally, components are buggy, I change something and it doesn’t get updated until I refresh the page. I would use Option key to duplicate the frames and sometimes it would work, sometimes it would just pull the frame with no contents in it. Everything in the file is acting strange and buggy. Anyone had the same experience?

Bug with gradient fills

Hi, I have seen something that seems to be a bug in the plugin api, (or if it’s not, i’d like to know what i’m doing wrong) with a rectangle node container having a gradient fill, such as this when accessing the getter fills in my code, i get an error message : Uncaught Error Error: in get_fills: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'colorVar') at get_fills (<eval>/VM46947625:23:21) and the call stack points to where i’m calling figmaNode.fills I have searched my code for the pattern colorVar to check if I was doing anything funny with that, but it is nowhere there, it seems that the get_fills is the internal getter that gets called when calling .fills I have a bunch of other rectangle with gradients that all work fine, (only the one on the left is failing) i have looked in details to try to isolate what’s unique about the left one, but nothing stands out, the rectangle contains 1 fill only of type gradient, here’s the config of the gradient i didn’t use any color

[Bug] Icon swap on button doesn't work unless you select the icon itself

Hey all, I’m trying to see the effect of splitting our DS library into 3 separate libs (Styles, Icons and Components). The thing that bothers me the most - and I’m pretty sure it is a bug - is that you need to select the internal icon of the component in order to see the available icons. See for yourself: I feel this shouldn’t be necessary! Have you seen the same behavior? Edit: Wow, didn’t know the Windows snipping tool was recording the sound as well 😅

Plugin API: "gradientStops" array empty for objects created before v1.92 update

After your v1.92 update, old objects with gradient no longer receive the “gradientStops” data, while the newly created ones work well. I think you might need to run a data migration for older objects as copy-pasting old objects does not solve the problem.

Presentation mode scrolls a bit, even when overflow is No Scrolling

I noticed some slight layout shift in my prototype animations, and found that there is some extra scrolling happening that gets reset when animating between Frames. I found that even when scrolling is completely turned off, the Presentation mode will still scroll to the left and down a bit. My design extends to the edge of Frame, and scrolling is off, but when I scroll, these thin white bars slide into view from the bottom and right sides: Is this a bug, or am I missing something? Thanks!

Duplicating files doesn't copy over the variable modes

Hi, Has anyone else noticed the bug where duplicating files doesn’t copy over the variable modes? I’ve set up desktop and mobile modes with tokens, but when I duplicate the file, the modes in components and parent frames disappear, forcing me to add them manually everywhere. Cheers!

Bug: box size of layers miscalculated until clicking them

The alignment and size of layers (mostly text layers it seems) is miscalculated until I (ctrl+) click on them. Not doing anything else other than clicking and then that triggers some calculation which corrects the dimensions. See the .gif attached

What has happened to this vector? Accidentally got it with multiple colors

I was copying and pasting a few square shapes around when I noticed that one of the copies had merged into a single vector shape, with each area of the shape filled with a different color. I didn’t think this was achievable through manual editing of a shape. Typically, a vector can only have one single fill color (although I’ve been hoping Figma would release a feature to allow the same vector to have different fills). This shape is fully editable as a vector shape, and the colors can still be changed to different values. What’s going on here? Has anyone else encountered anything like this before?
