Completely drowning in library updates

I am working on a library and some design files in parallel. Meaning, the library is not yet mature or stable, and updates are published very regularly. In addition to the ‘real’ updates, Figma keeps throwing in a bunch of ‘phantom’ updates for components that I havent’t touched.Plus, the ‘review updates’ preview thing is so slow that it mostly just never loads. I’m sitting on a pile of dozens of updates, some spanning back weeks, and I’m too afraid to just press ‘update all’ in case something breaks in my design, but it’s also impossible for me to go through all of these one by one because the preview never loads. And this whole problem multiplied by 6 files. Is this happening to anyone else? How are you dealing with it? I don’t know what to do.

Deleting text property in master component resets text in it's instances

Hi!Has anyone encountered this issue: some of our components had text properties so the text could be set directly in the properties panel. Some time later, we decided to delete these text properties. As a result, after publishing the library, in all instances of SOME components (not all, SOME), the text that was linked to the variable gets reset to the default. But this doesn’t happen in every component that had a deleted text variable.Is this a bug or expected behavior? Has anyone run into this? How did you deal with it?We have a large library used by 50+ designers, and what seemed like a tiny update that didn’t break anything during testing ended up resetting values to defaults in some components after publishing.

Design inside frame is invisible, but visible in layers panel and when selected.

I have this strange bug that just showed up as I was working on a design where all the elements in my frame disappeared. I thought i had deleted them, only to realize that they are all still there but not visible for some reason. I can still see the individual items on the layers panel, but they are totally invisible in frame. The one item that is visible is not within the frame itself. What could be the issue? How can I solve it?

Aspect ratio lock instance swap bug

Thanks for launching this new feature!I’m not sure if it is a bug, but I figured I would ask here. Let’s say you have a parent container, with a child element called “Instance A” with a width that is set to autofill width.When you swap out the Instance A (aspect ratio of 4:3) with another Instance B that has a different aspect ratio (16x9), and both components have ratio lock,  Instance A’s aspect ratio overrides that of the B’s.To me, this isn’t to me, the B’s ‘locked’ ratio value should take priority. (personal opinion)Now, there are two ways to restore B’s ratio.Right click into B, and reset. Resize parent container temporarily.  This will reset B’s ratio to 16x9.  And then you hit undo.#2 feels like a bug to me.But again, B’s locked ratio should take priority. (or give user control to set priority)Thanks!

Random visual errors after merge

Hi everyone,since we’ve used our branching/merging options in our Design System we are facing an issue, that keeps on giving the weirdest visual outputs.The issueWhen we merge a branch back into main, some frames appear to be smaller/larger than they actually are. Just last time, when we updated our icon collection and changed default size from 20x20 to 24x24px, some icons kept their visual appearance at the previous 20x20 after the merge. This is also weirdly reflected in the instance swap menu thumbnails for said icons.A similar issue, just reversed, has already been raised here:  How to fixThe easiest fix so far, that I have found, is to enter the affected frame, shape, etc., change width/height to some random number and undo the change immediately. After this, the affected object is corrected. Fun fact: Figma seems to know the correct size of the affected object as when you select it, it is displayed correctly, and retains certain information of when it was correct, such as box-sha

Figma ignoring underline style changes in hover

Okay, I’ve spent WEEKS problem shooting this with ChatGPT and today I finally found out what was wrong. It was a bug. Nothing I did wrong. So, I wanted to create a link navigation where the hover effect was an underline for the link text. First surpirse was that I couldn’t just do that inside my initial “Navigation button” component, because Figma overhauls text styles to be consistent within a component’s variants. Okay, easy workaround: create a Label component with an instance without underline and one with and use those inside the final button component using the underlined variant only in the “Hover” variant. I learned that interactions should only be done in the main component, not in the “Label” component. Okay, seemed to be working on the test layer, but moving it to the actual design page broke the interaction and nothing happened. Cue weeks of troubleshooting, creating and re-creating components, testing with background colour changes to see if at least the button hover insta

Blank Preview Screen when using prompt-to-code

Hi everyone,I've encountered an issue that I can't resolve on my own, so I'm reaching out for help.Our team is researching the prompt-to-code feature on Figma Make and we have a shared Make File. However, the Preview feature doesn’t seem to work for me, even though it works for my colleagues. I can only prompt and see the code generated by the system, but I can't see any preview. I've tried switching to different browsers (Edge, Chrome), using the Desktop App, clearing caches, restarting my Mac, and re-signing into Figma, but the preview screen remains blank. Please help me with this issue.Thank you all!

Webhook in Project Context Not Triggering on Comment Events

Hi everyone,We're currently facing an issue with webhooks in the project context.We've created a webhook to listen for FILE_COMMENT events on a project. The webhook was successfully created, and we’ve confirmed that the PING event is received correctly.However, when testing with multiple users posting comments on files within the project, no comment events are being triggered. We’ve verified this by checking the webhook logs using the GET /v2/webhooks/:webhook_id/requests endpoint — only the initial PING event appears there.Is there something we might be missing regarding webhook configuration for project-level comment events? Are there any known limitations or permissions issues that might prevent comment events from firing in a project context?Any help or insight would be appreciated!Thanks in advance.

Image fill suddenly cutting off images in a component

The base background layer that I have in all of my artboards is a satellite map image that’s part of a library component. It has multiple backgrounds in the component that I can switch between (via visibility toggling).I opened Figma this morning and all of the images within that component have been cut down to a thin horizontal slice of their proper height. I can paste a new image into the component and it’ll properly display that, but the images already in the component have been corrupted. If I copy the component and try to paste it into another file the corruption comes with it.This is occurring only on Desktop, though. If I go to the web the images still appear properly. 🤔I’m running 125.2.3 on a Mac running 15.4.1.

Inconsistent Translation of the Term "Branch" in Portuguese BR

Currently, the translation to Portuguese shows two options: "ramo" and "rascunho".I believe that the translation "rascunho" does not accurately represent the concept of "branch" in the context of design and development. The term "ramo" is more appropriate, as it better reflects the idea of branching and versions within the workflow.I suggest that the translation team consider keeping the term "ramo" or potentially not translating it at all, to maintain clarity of the concept for users who are familiar with the term in English. Thank you for addressing this adjustment that could enhance user experience on the platform.

Using "Clip content" on frame with Horizontal Auto Layout: Preview falsely "shaves off" top pixel line(s) when on @1x normal resolution displays

Reproduction:1) Parent frame with horizontal auto layout holding chips which have rounded edges Clip Content: OFF ✅ Looks fine on Canvas and Preview on all screens (@1x and @2x) 2) Parent frame —“— —“— Clip Content: ON a) ✅ Canvas looks fine b) ✅ Preview looks identical on @2x high-res display (internal screen, MacBook Air 15’’ 2024) c) ❌ Preview has rendering glitch on @1x normal-res display (external 24’’ display) The top few pixels of the container are “shaved off”. As a consequence the top of chips are also shaved off, and they appear irregular, not regularly rounded anymore. Suspicion: Some sub-pixel rendering or anti-aliasing function has rounding errors when clipping. Screenshots (from my @1x display): P.S.: I take “Search before you post” very seriously, and found no existing bug report yet. But can say so only with limited certainty as your forum search is currently very limited and needs better search to foster more productive feedback/involvement.

Unable to change permissions on files with branches

Hi there,I tried to change permission settings so that a prototype could be shared out to a client, but I kept seeing the red banner “An error occured...”. After further investigation, I believe it’s because this file has branches, because I didn’t encounter this problem on other files without branches.Can you have someone look into this please? Using branches to have different versions of prototypes is crucial to our workflow. Prototypes for clients, vs internal often have different things that are interactive, so that the narrative can be controlled.In the end, I was still able to conduct the user testing session, but had to ask my participant to create a Figma account, which isn’t ideal.Thanks.

Fix for Figma Slides changing device frames on prototypes?

I’m creating a presentation slide deck that has several Figma prototypes embedded in it. The prototypes are in different devices frames (laptop, tablet and iphone) with the device frame being set in the Figma file. Placing these into Figma slides, it will only retain the device frame from the most recent prototype. So if I place a prototype with a laptop device frame, and then later place one with an iphone device frame, it changes the previous desktop frame to also be an iphone frame.

Anyone from Figma here? Need help escalating a billing issue.

I’ve been a Figma supporter for years, but their new billing system is broken and unfair. I made a simple adjustment ONE DAY after my renewal date to adjust our team’s plan based in the new pricing model, and now we’re being charged for both the old and new seat, with no way to fix it. Here’s what happened:✔️ My renewal hit on March 16 with 5 full seats.✔️ On March 17, I downgraded 3 of those to developer seats since develpers don’t need full editing access.✔️ Figma says my billing locked at renewal, so now I have to pay for both the full and developer seats.✔️ Even if I switch back, I’m still charged the full amount. There’s no way to adjust it without extra fees. Figma support stopped responding after 20+ hours. So… anyone here working at Figma who can escalate this?
