It's the same for me! And you can no longer adjust the column width manually.

how lucky I am to open the Figma variables panel for the first time in my life just now, and be so confused about those rows ))

Logged in this morning to find the variables are split with the ‘edit variable’ now appearing under the variable info. I’m on a 27” screen with only one mode. 

I’m guessing this is a bug rather than update.

Hey everyone! Celine from the Figma Community Support team here. Thanks for taking the time to flag this and report the issue.

I was able to reproduce the behavior on my end and have raised it internally with our Engineering team for investigation.

We'll share an update here as soon as we have more information to pass along. Thanks again for bringing this to our attention!

The Variables panel is rendering incorrectly with large blank gaps between variable rows.

I've verified the following:

  • Happens in every Figma file, including new files.
  • Affects all variable collections.
  • Reproduces in the Figma Desktop app.
  • Reproduces in Chrome, Brave, and Firefox.
  • Persists after restarting Figma.
  • Persists regardless of browser zoom or Windows display scaling.

The issue makes the Variables panel difficult to use because the spacing between rows is inconsistent and much larger than expected.

I've attached a screenshot showing the issue.

I’m not sure if this is an intentional update or a bug, but the Variables panel now displays items in two rows instead of a single continuous list. This makes it much harder to quickly visualise and compare all variables within a collection at once, especially for larger collections.

Since very recently variables on the variables panel use 2 rows instead of one. It seems it’s an UI bug. The settings icon breaks to another like so everything takes double space.
