CMND + OPTN + C and  then CMND + OPTN + V not making desired results (I use it for boldening and coloring particular text just in some on-page notes i make). it happened before latest release, was hoping that update would resolve but no dice. on a Mac running 15.7.7 (pre apple silicon, but to my knowledge this issue should not be caused by that) -can anyone else confirm on newer or same/older mac, running desktop app btw, that the issue is happening for them as well?

    Hey ​@ajk — weighing in here as well. I touched base with the Technical Quality team, and they're reviewing a new set of reports. As Jaycee mentioned, we'd love to take a closer look at the file where this is happening — it'll help us determine if what you're seeing is related to what we're already tracking. Please check your inbox for a message from me tied to ticket number: 2053821.

    Hi ​@Tom Reem , I’m still running into this issue and couldn’t find a workaround that reliably fixes it.

    This is quite important for my workflow because I often only need to copy a single property (such as Drop Shadow or Stroke), rather than copying all layer properties.

    When copying an individual effect/property, Figma sometimes doesn’t seem to register the selection and pastes the previous clipboard content instead.

    I can share a screen recording if helpful for debugging. Would really appreciate if this could be looked into. Thank you!

    For additional context, I’m using the Figma Desktop App (version 126.7.10) on an Apple Silicon MacBook.

    Hey ​@Lynn Wu , Celine form the Community Support team at Figma here! Thanks for the follow-up here, and sorry this is still causing friction on your workflow.

    Since this needs a closer look at what's happening with the clipboard behavior specifically, the easiest path forward would be to submit a bug report through our secure form.  To do that: Go to the Support Hub / Type “Report a bug, Contact an agent” / Click Start a chat and select Enter and follow the prompts.
    In the form, include the URL of the file and grant "Can View" access with support-share@figma.com and your screen recording. This allows us to reproduce the issue and investigate. Please also include the screen recording you mentioned, along with a quick note on which property you're copying (Drop Shadow, Stroke, etc.) and roughly how often it happens, that'll give our team what they need to reproduce it and investigate properly. Thank you!
