Report a Problem

Hi everyone, I’ve added a new property (variant) to my component. It appears in the right-hand bar after I’ve published it on my project, but it doesn’t work when I use it. I don’t get any errors when I look in the library where I created it, so I don’t understand… it seems to be a bug

I’m developing a plugin and it has been running without any issues. It suddenly stopped working and when I tried to import the manifest again, I’m getting an error: Uncaught (in promise) Error: Error invoking remote method 'web:createMultipleNewLocalFileExtensions': TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'path') at IpcRenderer.invoke (VM4 sandbox_bundle:2:118120) at async Object.createMultipleNewLocalFileExtensions (<anonymous>:12:11851) I then tried to create a new plugin (Figma design + FigJam) and am getting an error: Error: Error invoking remote method 'web:writeNewExtensionDirectoryToDisk': TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'path') at IpcRenderer.invoke (VM4 sandbox_bundle:2:118120) at async Object.writeNewExtensionDirectoryToDisk (<anonymous>:12:12906) Any ideas? Has there recently been an update in the Figma plugin API?

Hi. We heard you. We see the giant purple banner and lengthy post pinned at the top of the forum. Now give us the ability to dismiss it permanently so we do not have to scroll past it every time we want to use the forum. If Figma is good at one thing, that is annoying its users and not thinking about UX when they do things!

Greetings! I’d like to report a bug I’ve been noticing for a long time now in Figma’s prototypes. When viewing prototypes, components’ hover-interations would get stuck. Once components transition to a hover state, they wouldn’t transition back on mouse leave (when I move the cursor away). So every component that has a hover freezes in it’s hover state once I move the cursor in. The issue usually gets resolved when I reload the prototype tab, but it comes back from time to time, I’ve had this bug multiple times today already. I’m working with pretty large artboards that have a fair number of components and a lot of them have hovers, so reloading a tab takes some time. I’ve noticed this issue in multiple files, different projects, etc — it just kinda happens sometimes. I’m assuming it mostly affects larger files. Figured I’d post about it here, there might be someone else experiencing the same issue. If possible, perhaps there’s a chance someone could look into it. Thanks 🙂 Best

Hey, can somebody help me, I cant choose where to show the gif anymore as a thumbnail… is there somebody who would know why? Screenshot 2024-10-25 at 13.05.15|690x445

I’ve noticed that position of an absolutely elements within a frame get messed up after you delete the frame and undo. They are no longer in the original coordinate after undo. It doesn’t always happen, but it seems to happen when you delete a large number of frames (via cmd+a, delete, and cmd+z). Attached is the impacted screen. instead of the sticky / floating nav bar remaining bottom aligned to its autolayout container, it gets pushed even further down and gets clipped. Sometimes it gets pushed ‘up’ as well. This issue has existed for a few years. As long as I remember.

Here is an example of what it does : If I move the Avatar group one time no problem; If I move it another time, the group is flattened : all groups or variable inside are in the level 0 of the tree. If only a tool could sort variables alphabetically 🙂

When I add description to component set, the description display normally. But if I add description to single component, description not show up as I expected I check the old version, it display normally, so I think it’s a bug?

In the current “new Figma UI” the option to “go to main component” is missing. It would make a lot of sense, to include this option in the “right” context menu.

Spotted a bug >> When the Right click and drag to pan option is enabled, the Right click + CMD (on mac keyboard) “Layers menu” doesn’t open when the cursor is hovering over a layer. (Figma menu > Preferences > Right-click and drag to pan) Turning this feature off brings back this ability, although they seem to be able to work together since there is a difference between a drag and a click

Design system library changes require manual color updates in other files.

I love this new feature! But I noticed that the color swatches/preview shows the same color on all modes. I have Light and Dark mode here. The names are correct, but not the color.

Hello, I may have found a bug with video in Slide Deck. Audio from Slide Deck videos is not shared during a Google Meet call when you share all your screen (but working great when you are only sharing the tab). (Google Chrome on a Macbook M1 Pro) Has anyone encountered this problem before? Thank you

Hi. So, I’m working on a project that involves a slide out overlay with lots of tabs. Everything is normal when you are switching between tabs but as soon as I hover a button for example the Add Notes button and then switch to another tab/page, it kind of goes with the other page like it’s sticking. Btw, every button on the tabs does have their own function and whenever this bug happens, the button below the sticking overlayed button still works as it is. So, it’s just sticking on top. I did put restart component state when you’re switch tabs and still have that bug. It just restarts whenever I close the whole slideout and open again.

Please check the record. Children layers of one instance can be selected, while the other can not. Does anyone know what’s the difference between these components?

We have a rather big Design system UI kit where we recently switched from Font styles to a local variable setup for Typography (skipping styles all together). And now the performance went really bad, as in a state where you can’t work with it. 😔 We’ve nailed the issue down to Font-family variables, which uses String. If we remove these (as in don’t use any variables for Font-family), everything is back to normal and the file is performant again. Potentially Font-weight was also a factor, but we’ve moved from String to Number variables here and it seem to work fine. Did any one else have issues with this and how did you approach/solve it?

Hi, my cursors has turned into a tiny 1 pixel dot, its currently only happens in one file, doesnt effect my desktop (googling suggests could be a system thing) and id like to revert it back, its near impossible to see where it is and where im hovering over to work effiencetly, i havent attached a photo as its pretty impossible to get it to show obviously in a image

It seems that getCSSAsync has an issue with parsing bound values:

Hi folks, Early today I’ve finally managed to get variants switching initiated from a child checkbox/switch: How to change parent variant on checkbox/switch? However I stumbled upon [presumably] a bug in Figma, that prevents it to work properly when using a middleware component. Here is my sandbox: Figma – 23 Nov 24 Here is a screencast with bug demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZB_CqapeXE

Hi, I work on a plugin that uses codegen to generate css code in dev mode. All the devs on the team noticed that suddenly the syntax around variables changed significantly, so I suspect yesterday’s update. I am quite perplexed at what needs to be handled differently now as the plugin just calls codegen.on() and then uses node.getCSSAsync() to return all the CSS data from the current selection (we format it after the fact for our use case). Since the update this is the CSS syntax we get: Seems like every time a node uses a variable that exists in the project we get this corrupted unfinished comment block. I need a workaround pretty urgently, so if there’s a flag to turn the comments off would be super helpful! Or any sort of other setting that will at least provide me with valid CSS syntax! Best, Lachezar

I have a frame. I have another frame (overlay). My intention: Blur the background Frame when the overlay is opening. Background blur on the overlay didn’t worked. Presentation mode: nothing. Why and how can I fix this? How I want it to look (made in Adobe Illustrator):

I discovered a funny issue when using ZWJ emoji in a filename. The filename field in the left panel of the UI supports ZWJ emojis as single characters, but the tab bar doesn’t. So, the first emoji in the fallback sequence is assigned as the favicon for the tab item. In the screenshot above, I’m using the new phoenix ZWJ emoji in the filename, which falls back to 🐦 🔥 . So, 🐦 is assigned as the file favicon. Not a big deal, but kind of confusing that the favicon in the tab bar doesn’t match the emoji in the filename.

The window for plugins in dev mode seems to be consistently fixed at 150px, regardless of the plugin’s height. I’ve attempted to set a height using the ShowUI method and the resize method, but the computed height remains fixed at 150px. This issue is consistent across various plugins, all appearing constrained to this height. Upon inspecting the DOM, I found that the following div: <div data-fpl-component="" class="tabs-module--tabPanel--1IUFn" role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="tab:r1:-plugin-trigger" id="tab:r1:-plugin-panel" style=""> ... </div> is stuck at 150px, no matter the plugin’s height. These are screenshots of some plugins I opened to confirm it was not only happening to the plugin I’m working on

1. Describe the bug/issue you’re running into? Loading one of my Figjam boards I noticed that on a flow we had created all of the connectors were gone. Since no one would have removed them deliberately I’m wondering why they disappeared. 2. Are you able to consistently reproduce it? If so what are the steps? You can see the flow does not have anything connecting the pieces but if I look at the versions and go back to around the 14th of May the flow does have connectors. Again I have no reason to suspect either myself or anyone else to have deleted to the connections. Also up until yesterday we were veiwing the board with connections visible 3. Share a screenshot, recording, console log, link to the file, etc. I can share the file privately not here 4. Is the issue only happening in desktop app or a specific browser , or both? Happens in browser and desktop 5. What OS/version and/or browser/version are you using? MAC OS Big Sur 11.3.1, Firefox 78.10.1esr, Figma Desktop App version 98.13

1. Describe the bug/issue you’re running into? when texting many chinese characters ，it must be some characters invisible！ 2. Are you able to consistently reproduce it?
