I don’t know if this is only happening on my end. I have tested on multiple browsers. When viewing a file in the Figma community, I try switching pages in the preview embed box and it doesn’t seem to work. is this just on my end or an actual bug? Its hard to preview files before downloading. #community

Now if the layer has a blur background effect, backgrounds that shouldn’t be present when exporting will also be exported (layers not in the target Frame) This behavior is different than before, and it breaks many old designs.

Hi everyone, has anyone ever experienced this? We’re on a project that required a few different libraries and typestyles sets attached to one working file. We’ve done a lot of work but recently we’ve noticed that on designs we have wrapped up months ago, at random some type fields would be reassigned from one library to another. There’s no pattern to it, some random fields on random art boards just changed from the original style we applied to one from the other library. Anyway, if anyone has any experience with this, we would love your insight! Thanks again, and have a great day. 🙏

While working on a FigJam file with another editor, suddenly, all the connectors created between text boxes disappeared. We were working on the Figma app for Windows 10 desktops.

Hi there, when running a prototype on iOS the status bar is visible at first. After the two-finger long press the bottom sheet slides in and the status bar disappears. Returning to the prototype displays the frame without the status bar. After second two-finger long press the status bar appears again. Returning to the prototype displays the frame with the status bar. Screenshots were taken on an iPhone 13 Pro Max Would be nice to let the user decide wether to hide or show the status bar in general. Best regards Michael

Hello Figma, I’ve encountered an issue when using typographic variables. I’ve configured all the fonts according to the parameters allowed by the program, but when applying them and switching to prototype mode, it doesn’t respect the settings established as variables. In my case, I’ve used two different types of typography, “Flexo” and “Nunito,” but both font families have different names for their weights. My question is, does this affect the variables? I’m attaching a video of the issue I’m facing, and I hope to find a possible solution to this problem.

hey guys, im a new member of Figma’s community just as user too. Im facing an issue about editing texts on instances, the changes just dont appear at all, however, the changes remains as the master component. in design mode everythings okay, but it dont appears in a presentation view. Can someone help me plss? thnks for all

I have a dropdown instance. In its open state I changed the text. But when I tried the prototype preview mode the text and the component keeps changing to the default text from the main component. Can you guys help me? Go to file

We are using variables for our enterprise components (things like color, border radius, etc) the typical token items. We are working to integrate them into illustration, logo, and pattern component libraries. So that these items swap out depending on the brand (mode) picked. It seems to work, but when Figma reloads some of the visual items or full components will “disappear” (they are there but broken). This is not the same as the bug where you can click into the disappeared element and it reappears. Everything fixes itself when you “CMD+/” and “Re-Resolve Variable References”, but to visually see the changes of many of the items we have to re-resolve every time Figma reloads. This is a big issue because we need developers and stakeholders to be able to use these designs and see the correct variable of the components. Is there a way to make it where the files “Re-Resolve Variable References” automatically on load so this isn’t an issue?

Hello, I’ve been working on this prototype for a website and just finished a carousel menu that will nest within a section of the landing page. I’m trying to figure out how to nest this carousel within a frame that can then rest on my landing page, while preserving the interactions I’ve already created. However, every time I place my carousel within an empty frame and activate “Clip Content”, it somehow makes my carousel interactions completely inaccessible in Prototype Mode. I’ve tried playing around with the ordering of each of my items, I’ve searched YouTube and the community, and nobody seems to have this same issue. I can’t figure out what the heck I’m doing wrong and I’m losing my mind. Nesting a carousel in a frame shouldn’t do this, should it? Here are links to my prototype and the workstation so hopefully you know what I mean. If you need more info please let me know.

Situation: Component File (published as a library) Screens File (using instances from the component file, combining them into a page design, and then also used as components library for the next file) Feature Presentation File (using the screen components from the Screens File to present new feature requests and updates to product team) Component File → Screens File → Presentation File Problem: Normally, there is no problem and everything works fine. However, sometimes Figma successfully uses components from the “Components file” in the “Screens file”, but fails to show the exact same component in the “Presentation file”. Sometimes even shows weird stuff instead. (See screenshots) I tried: closing & restarting Figma changing something so I can publish a change hoping that it will affect the other files. It would be nice if this bug would be resolved. 😉

Suddenly today I noticed that my prototypes started freezing. After some investigation I found that by removing the “Mouse Enter” variant change that I used for the hover effect on my buttons, the prototypes started working correctly again. I’m not sure if this was the cause but it did resolve the issue. (note these had been previously working) Image below to show how I had the buttons setup using the “Mouse Enter” and Mouse Leave" triggers to switch between the two variants.

Context I have multiple libraries enabled. Using the desktop application for Mac. Problem Occasionally, searching in the component panel shows this image. Infuriating, because I know I have libraries enabled. I need to click to “Layers”, then click “Assets” again and the components load. This happened multiple times while I was working on a file.

It stops working when the instances are nested in a component. Figma – 4 Jun 24

Hi Plugin are not loading, is there a raison for that ?

When I try using the pen tool to draw a line inside a frame with autolayout, the vector node gets placed wayyyy outside the frame, at a seemingly random point.

Hi Figma Community, I’m facing a significant issue after a recent update where drafts must now belong to a team. I moved all my drafts to a personal team, and now, a project I had published in the Figma Community has been deleted. I no longer have access to it, and it no longer appears on my community profile. This project had thousands of duplicates, and it seems I’ve lost it completely. I do not wish to republish it; I want to recover it with all the comments and likes it had before. Attached is a screenshot of what appears when I try to open an old notification for the project: This is the Draft Could someone help me resolve this issue? Thank you.

1. Describe the bug/issue you’re running into? It’s not possible to copy and paste when you create a line. Also glitching when drawing a line. And moving the line. 2. Are you able to consistently reproduce it? If so what are the steps? As simple as creating a new line and duplicating it. 3. Share a screenshot, recording, console log, link to the file, etc. 4. Is the issue only happening in desktop app or a specific browser , or both? Both 5. What OS/version and/or browser/version are you using? Big Sur and Chrome Version 90.0.4430.93 (Official Build)

Scale Instance+Auto Layout Fill+Resizing=

Hi, I was browsing around the community plugins area on my iphone and noticed videos weren’t loading for me. Anyone else noticed this problem?

Hi, So I am trying to create an icon that can be resized within another component. To do this, I have made 4 variable modes, so that the icon will scale to the set sizes. This all works fine with the main component itself, but when a duplicate or an instance of the component is placed, it does not work and I don’t understand why not. See video example… Can anyone help me please?

Hi, I’m experiencing something that seems to be a bug with Styles vs. Variables. I have bunch of components that are imported from a library with color variables (no colors styles involved). Problem is when I am selecting one of them ‘Selection colors’ shows a color style that imitates applied background color variable and there’s no such style anywhere. See example, ‘Background/background_sidebar’ variable is applied to ‘Sidebar’ component (imported from library) and is reflected in ‘Fill’, but ‘Selection colors’ show one another ‘Style’ called ‘Background/background.sidebar’. Overall these Styles that you see in the screenshot, do not exist in this file, neither in the library. Sooo, how do I get rid of these annoying ‘ghost styles’? Thanks!

Hi, we need to publish a plugin quickly, but we are stuck with this notice: As per the manifest documentation, it shows that the ‘documentAccess’ field is optional. We do not want to use the dynamic page loading feature for now. How can we publish the plugin without enabling the dynamic page loading APIs for the Plugin ?

When I select an auto-layout attribute (gap, or padding) with a variable applied, in the dropdown I see the current value highlighted which is amazing. Tho, that doesn’t happen when I want to change the radius. When I click on the radius value, the dropdown highlights the first value in the list which is incorrect. It would be nice if Radius would be consistent with how the layout properties work and would highlight the selected value in the dropdown. Thank you!
