Prototype interactions stop responding after multiple component edits

Hi everyone,

I'm currently working on a Figma project for gpadtesterpro.com and have run into an issue with prototype interactions.

After making several edits to component variants, some interactions stop responding in Prototype mode even though they still appear to be configured correctly. The issue usually starts after multiple rounds of edits, and the only reliable workaround I've found is recreating the affected components.

I've already tried:

  • Refreshing Figma
  • Testing in both the desktop app and browser
  • Duplicating the affected frames
  • Republishing library changes
  • Clearing the browser cache

Has anyone experienced something similar? Is this a known issue with component variants or prototype caching, or is there another troubleshooting step I should try?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hey ​@Eddie Broke , thanks for providing a detailed description of the issue and everything you've already tried!

Since the interactions appear to be configured correctly but stop responding after multiple rounds of edits—and recreating the components temporarily resolves the issue—this doesn't sound like expected behavior.

At this point, I'd recommend submitting a bug report so our team can investigate further.

Please submit a bug report via the Support Hub (Type “Report a bug” / Click Start a chat / select Enter and follow the prompts) and include:

  • Which specific components or interactions stop responding.
  • A link to the affected file, shared with support-share@figma.com with Can View access.
  • A screen recording showing the issue, if possible.
  • The steps to reliably reproduce the behavior.

That will give the team the information they need to investigate the issue more closely, thank you!
