We’ve identified a bug related to how Figma handles overrides when switching between component variants in different orders.

Specifically, when we first apply the variant where the dropdown is open, everything works correctly. But if we start with the dropdown closed variant and then switch to the open one, we run into issues:
– The icon sometimes changes incorrectly
– Occasionally, the button type also changes

This issue isn’t limited to dropdowns — we’ve seen the same pattern affect many other components in our system.

The bug appears to be tied to how Figma manages overrides based on the order of variant switching.

We’ve attached a video showing this behavior in action. Please investigate, as this makes it hard to maintain consistency in large design systems.

Hey Raquel - first, apologies for the delay. Variants can get a little tricky, so we usually ask if it would be possible for you to grant us edit access to the file that was part of your screen recording (sometimes there’s background behavior engineering can see when doing so).

If you’re able to do that, can you share edit access with support-share@figma.com and then PM the name of the file with me? This is the official Figma file support account that only our support and engineering team have access to. You will not be charged for this either.

If you are unable to do so, totally understand. Let me know whenever you can.
