Hey there Figma team.
I enjoy working with variables, but my team and I are currently facing two annoying issues related to the variables panel.
First one:
When I open variables panel, then try to copy something from a text layer from my Figma canvas by using ctrl+c, and then I try to paste it somewhere outside of Figma (in gmail, in slack, in google docs, etc), the paste never works. I just paste whatever was in my clipboard before I copied that text. It looks like Figma doesn’t register ctrl+c action on a layer, as long as the variables panel stays opened.
Second one:
Normally, when I edit a text layer and hit ESC, it is registered as ‘confirm’ action. However, while variables panel is opened, hitting that ESC while editing a text on the canvas results in closing variables panel instead. It can be extremely annoying if I’m working on something simultaneously on canvas, and in variables.
I hope both bugs can be addressed sooner then later :)
Best,
Figma enjoyer
