Hi Figma team,I’ve encountered an unexpected behavior when using Auto Layout with negative gaps. When a zero-width or height element is included in the frame, the negative gap is ignored, and spacing defaults to 0.Steps to Reproduce: Create an Auto Layout frame with a horizontal or vertical direction. Add multiple regular elements (e.g., rectangles) — negative gaps work as expected. Add a zero-width or zero height element into the same Auto Layout group. Suddenly, the negative gap no longer works — the spacing defaults to 0, breaking the layout.  Would appreciate if this could be looked into.Thanks! Changing the gap reveals that only the Auto layout frames without the zero size element are able to have a negative gap value 

I was asked to open a file in recovery mode because it ran out of memory, i tried doing that but it still wasn't opening. so i checked online and i was asked to clear the figma app cache. I cleared the cache, and after doing that, the file opened, but now all the screens on that file are missing. i cant find them anywhere. pls advise on how to recover these files. 

Annoying that auto-layout components with hidden layers set to Fixed in library file are forced override to Scroll when propagated out from library into other files.Anyone find a workaround?

I created a Make composant for my Figma site.I’d like to feed it with a custom image. I managed to create a string field because I don’t think a file field already exists.I’ve been wondering if there’s a way to get the URL of a media already present on my Figma file ?Thank you very much  

Since yesterday my figma runs really slow and also shows storage issues. even if the file did not change now my storage space is suddenly full. Working like this is not even possible as i have to wait for certian things up to a minute and it is also pixalated.

When using the native “Slide number” component provided by Figma Slides, the page number is handled automatically. However, enabling the “Include total” option — which displays the format “current page / total slides” — introduces a problem. If new slides are added after the component has already been inserted, the total number of slides does not update automatically and remains stuck at the previous count. The only workaround found is to manually toggle the “Include total” option OFF and then back ON. While this does refresh the total correctly, it becomes impractical when dealing with a large number of slides.

Why is it that even though I have preset integer values in the variables (font size, padding), Figma changes the integer values of the component’s child elements to decimals and doesn’t allow me to edit them? I have to detach the instancebefore I can change the values back to integers. Why does this happen?The font size should be 16 but it changes to 15.93All the integer values in variables change to decimalsThe variables cannot be selected

Figma Design has this keyboard shortcut for text tuning: It conflicts with Chrome’s well-known shortcut to go to the previous or next tab.As a result when I execute this shortcut while in the Figma Design tab, Chrome stops switching tabs. Which is a pity, because this happens even if you have no text selected.  Any suggestion (other than using the native Figma app, which is not my preference)?Is there no way to disable or redefine certain Figma shortcuts?

Olá!Sou Carlos Coelho, desenvolvedor de sites. Uso o Figma para criar layouts de sites usando fontes Google (em geral). Venho hoje para reportar um problema no site e gostaria de saber se temos uma solução para isso.Ao desenvolver o site, geralmente uso a categoria “Google Fonts” para selecionar uma fonte para o meu website do meu cliente… Sabendo que o cliente tem uma identidade visual, eu busco na galeria Google Fonts a fonte do meu cliente, exemplo Gibson. O Figma me informa que a fonte Gibson foi encontrada… Porém, ele me leva a crer que a fonte Gibson está na categoria que eu selecionei, “Google Fonts”, o que não está.Gostaria de saber se os desenvolvedores do Figma poderiam corrigir isso para que este tipo de problema não aconteça, e que a “Categoria > Google Fonts” seja uma forma de selecionar um grupo específico de fontes. E que a parte de Pesquisa seja delimitada pela Categoria.Att.

Hello!I wrote here 10 months ago about my prototype not working when I share them with some colleagues because the variables just don’t work at all.  I tried again today with a new prototype and still have the same issue. It works perfectly fine on my computer, variables are set, used, changed, all good.But when my colleague opens the prototype on her computer, it’s as if the variables didn’t exist at all. (tried in browser and the desktop app)This is really a pain when you spend time creating a nice proto that no-one can use…Has anyone run into this or better yet, found a solution? Thanks!

Skipped slides in Figma Slides are still visible on the iOS app, is that the intended behaviour?

A frame below the fold with mouse enter trigger not respecting the preserve scroll position functionality. My main top level frames are named identically. Just about every frame, header and nav have auto layouts so I don’t know if that is causing the issue but I don’t see why it would. This is making my scroll to top button difficult to use and a dynamic header that goes away on scroll down and quickly comes back on scroll up before getting to the top of the page impossible.

Figma canvas started to freeze randomly. It happens when I try to move objects back and front, work with texts. I can zoom in and out on the keyboard, move the canvas, switch between open files, work on another file. But the initial file is frozen and I need to restart it.  Any solution to this?  TIA

I have set up a Figma doc, but every time I go to present or preview, all the pages are blank. It’s weirdly just showing one image on slide 5, but everything else is blank. Any ideas what I might be doing wrong? Thanks.

I recently received a message stating that my Figma Education Plan has expired, even though the Education Plan is supposed to last for two years, and I have only been using it for one year.Since my circumstances have not changed and I cannot afford the premium plan, I reapplied for the Education Plan, but my request was rejected with giving this meesage: You’ve already used up your free access to the Figma Education plan.Upgrade your plan to keep creating and editing unlimited files, or create a new Professional team.Is there a time limit for accessing the Education Plan?I can't afford the premium plan so plz allow me to use educational plan as there are my bootcamp project that I can't view or further work on.

I work a lot with branches. I also set all kinds of annotations for developers there. I use different categories in the annotations to be able to categorize them better.If I then merge the file, the categories are reset and the annotations no longer have an categorization. Can this please be changed, it is quite time consuming to add all categories again 🙈

Is it just me or are the text search buttons in FigJam (when searching via Ctrl+ F shortcut) behaving exactly the opposite way from what to expect?To illustrate, this screenshot shows what I am referring to:When clicking on the “down” chevron, I’d expect to go to the next search result (3 of 57). Instead, what happens is FigJam jumps back to the first search result (1 of 57).Likewise, when clicking the “up” chevron, I’d expect to get to the previous search result - instead, FigJam navigates to the subsequent one. I cannot see how this would make sense, as intuitively, I would associate a downward pointing chevron button with “next” and an upward pointing chevron with “previous”.It seems to be a bug - please fix!

Hello!My team is working in Dev Mode, and we have noticed that measurements and annotations occasionally can’t be deleted. The measurements are only removed after reopening the file.Is there a known fix or workaround for this issue?

For example, im trying to attach arrow to the right side of a picture and the arrow refuses to stick to that side. It forces me to attach to other optionsThe snapping options change if i zoom out or in

I recently, or better, had since a year of trying to fix it, the issue that any font i downloaded did not work. (Exept for the sega logo font, which isnt on my pc.) draging in the file does nothing. Restarting, reinstalling everythinf including fonts and the desktop program / font-into-figma-shover in various ways, downloading diffrent fonts did not work, manualy installing fonts did not work, and yes, i did restart, shutdown and start, and updated figma in a year. So, since i now KNOW that the problem is not coming with a clean instalation of figma and is not caused by me. i recently also found out that a bot answers the questions after that by leading to a help article that explains you how to install fonts, not troubleshoot, just installing. the troubleshooting page for the issue that has been “solved” and the answer pointing this page out was “most helpful” (figma closed the thread by sending the user to an irrelevant page) was about Adobe fonts not showing up. i have the same issu

When exporting Frames (that include text) to .pptx, the background or decorative shapes—such as rounded rectangles or masks—are often missing in the exported file, leaving only the text.This results in a significant loss of visual fidelity and breaks the intended layout.I strongly suggest that, at minimum, the entire Frame should be exported as a PNG image to preserve its original appearance.This issue has caused major difficulties when using Figma to design presentation slides, and I hope it can be addressed or improved soon.

Hi everyone, I’ve noticed something over the past few weeks that feels like a UX regression, and possibly even a bug.Before, when working with elements like a button frame, I could add properties like Fill, Stroke, and others by clicking anywhere in the gray area of that section on the right panel. I didn’t have to aim precisely at the small + button or the label. It felt smooth and natural, and helped me move quickly.Recently, that behavior changed. Now, I have to click directly on the + button or the property label. Clicking the gray area does nothing. It may seem like a small thing, but over time it creates micro-friction. When you add that up across many interactions, and for many users, it becomes a noticeable slowdown.One reason I think this might be a bug is because the Export section still works the old way. If you click the middle gray area there, it triggers the export action. That inconsistency makes me think the change in behavior might not be intentional.If this is just a

Hi everyone,Previously in Figma, I could select multiple parent layers (e.g. instances with the same structure), press Enter, and then Tab through their child layers in sync. This was extremely useful for making consistent edits across similar components or groups.However, I’ve noticed that this behavior has changed recently. Now, when I select multiple layers and press Tab, it only highlights the first selected layer instead of allowing me to tab through the children of all selected layers simultaneously.Has this feature been removed or changed?Is there a new shortcut or setting I need to enable to restore the previous behavior?Any help or workaround would be greatly appreciated!

Hello awesome Figma makers, I’ve just upgraded to a pro account with full seat, but do not see the AI option in both iOS app and browser.  In browser, there is an icon which looks like AI, but it seems to be a menu navigator only. I’ve also enabled AI in the admin settings.  thank you
