Text content and positions change after reopening file — positions and text error

Hello Figma Support,

After working on a file and reopening it the next day, I encountered the following issues. Please advise why this is happening and how to fix it.

  1. Some text layers show different content or have moved to different positions.

    • If I double-click a text layer, the visible text immediately reverts to the original content I had entered. However, the layer’s position remains changed and does not return to its original location.

  2. When I drag a layer out of a section and drop it elsewhere, the text also reverts to the original input (same as item 1), but the position still does not revert.

Steps and observations:

  • I saved and closed the file after editing on yesterday.

  • When I reopened the file on today, the problems appeared.

  • Double-clicking restores text content but not layer position.

  • Dragging elements out of a section triggers the same text-content revert behavior, while positions stay incorrect.

Could you please let me know:

  • What might cause text content and positions to change like this?

  • Is there a known bug related to sections, layer transforms, or caching that would cause these symptoms?

  • How can I restore the original positions of the affected layers?

  • Recommended troubleshooting steps (version history/use of restore, clearing cache, switching browser/desktop app, etc.)?

 

 

 

 

 

Thank you.

I have encountered the same problem. It is a massive defect when presenting the work for clients. i might do all the work they ask for and next day when demoing the results, changes have rolled back. So i feel it is ruining my reputation.
