Solved

I’m trying to adjust the size of the frame to the right sizing but some elements randomly are connected to the frame size and it completely messes up my design. I have seen some responses where the solution is supposed to be to hold down control and resize the frame but this does not work for me. I’ve tried holding down option. I’ve tried holding down command. I’ve tried holding down shift. Nothing works. I wonder if this is a bug. What i do when I’m designing a page and I know I need more room, I resize the frame and then select the footer, click the bottom align action and boom! I have a fresh page with lots of room to design. However, this somehow attaches the footer to the bottom of the frame and there is not a way to release it that I can see. THEN. Once i’m done with designing the page, It’s near impossible to get the right spacing from the end of the content to the start of the footer. I can place the footer in the correct spot but when I go to move the end of the page t

Add an option to sort comments based on the user. If multiple user have added comments, option to filter them.

I cannot see all of the comments in Figma, It only shows fews and if I resolve any of them then it will scroll but other than that it doesnt let me scroll. Filters also doesn’t show. This bug is only affecting the older version of UI design. I Use the new UI then comments does show properly.

I want to split compound shapes / boolean-ed shapes into their original separate shapes. In Illustrator and freehand you used to be able to release compound paths / divide shapes. I can’t figure out how to uncombine shapes in Figma once they have been combined. What am I missing. Yes I can remove the punched counter via the path tool, but that’s extremely tedious, especially if you’ve got a lot of shapes to work through. This is a simple task in other vector apps…

Hello, How can I hide other epople mouses, i’m on a mooc and it’s annoying lmao ? Sofian

I have an embedded prototype on my web-site. It contains a button that redirects to a specific URL. However, when the button is clicked it redirects to https://www.figma.com/exit?url=<my url> with a confirmation dialog, instead of redirecting directly. Is there a way to get rid of this intermediate screen? My redirect URL even on the same domain as a web-site where prototype is embedded.

Issue: Some variable names display a space within the name. For instance, Colors/Black displays as Colors/Blac k I am running Figma Desktop App version 124.6.5 on a MacBook Pro (2019). Has anyone run across this and if so, is there a fix?

We suddenly encountered broken variable names and aren’t sure how to fix them. Any guidance would be appreciated! Here is a video for better understanding -drive.google.com

Hello, I am setting up some new variables for my colour styles. I use the naming conventions 100-900 but you can see in the attached screenshots the formatting is not visually correct. Why is the second 0 so far away from the first? Alf

Hello, I recently encountered this behavior when I clicked on the effect Styles and opened the small panel. I was also able to open the colors panel, and they both got overlayed on top of each other. Seems to be a bug?

Hi, this one is driving me crazy and I can’t find anything about it so this has to be me doing something wrong. Why can’t I horizontally scroll the Layer list on my Figma? Eventually I get to several levels deep nested layers and I need to manually increase the width of the sidebar to get to them, when I just wanted some horizontal scrolling or even that Figma automatically scrolls horizontally to the layer name. What am I doing wrong? I can’t see any option or setting for this. Thanks.

I’ve received a link to a Figma file from another team. The problem is that the link came in a chat related to a certain meeting that occurred last week, so as time goes on it’s only going to get harder and harder to find that link. I want to somehow bookmark this file so I can return to it quickly. Hitting a few roadblocks… I can only view this file in two ways: Inside the actual file, and from the search results page. I don’t know which project this file lives in and I don’t know how to find that out. There doesn’t appear to be such a thing as “favorites” anymore. I can click the “add to favorites” options from either of these views, but nothing happens. I have no favorites section in my sidebar and I can’t figure out how to get one. There’s no way to “star” these files from either of these views, which is usually how I bookmark files. Adding to favorites does not add it to my “starred” files section. I cannot drag the file from the search results to my “starred” files section. A

I have a blank frame. If I try to draw rectangle it is immediately offset to a new position when I start drawing. How can I turn off this feature? Note: This problem is for online only. It does not occur on the PC (desktop) version. In the photo, when I start to draw rectangle 2 my cursor is at the lower left-hand corner of rectangle 1. Then it is immediately offset.

If I install an updated version of a font, I have to do the following to update all the text to reflect the newest version of the font: Reload the tab for the file in question. Double-click each and every text box that uses the font. Is there a workaround to having to do Step 2? Perhaps an as-is regex find-and-replace (style-based)? Or better yet, would it be simple to write a script or extension that goes through every text box in a file and updates it? Does such an extensions already exist? Thanks in advance.

I have an inconsistent issue with my prototype link. When I share it, some people get the prototype as per set-up (all the interactions etc). However, some people get a different page of the prototype which is our cover page for the Design File (visual attached from user testing). Sadly this has affected a few remote testing recordings as users couldn’t get further. The link to the prototype below, would be great to know if anyone else gets this issue and why is it happening? Link to the prototype When building prototype, are we only allowed to have one page in the file? But it’s inconsistency that worries me and I cannot be confident with sharing the link with anonymous users for the test. Help 🙂

We have the main component library that includes all the variants of the primary component. Recently, one of my team members mentioned that the order of the component variants has changed. I attempted to identify the issue by using the CTRL + P command along with all the repair commands. It indicated that something was fixed, but despite multiple attempts to resolve it with CTRL + P, it still isn’t functioning on the other files. However, it works perfectly fine locally. I’ve attached a video for better clarity. Tried on booth Figma desktop, Google chrome browser but it’s not working. [Google Drive] Recording 2024-11-18 184727.mp4 - Google Drive

Hello, I was wondering if I can also move components of my components page in project A to a dedicated new project, while keeping them linked? Right now my component library lives in my project, but since it will be working with different projects as well, I like to have one project with only components, which serves the other projects… 🙂

I created an autolayout and I’m placing one layer on top of the other, so I hope that the layer is in front of this one. That’s not what’s happening. Even when I select the Bring to front option, it moves my layer below the other one. Anyone else having this problem?

Hello! Lately I have been having problems with comments in figma app. Once the comment is added I cannot see it in the file unless I reload the app. It is really wasting the time for the team work. Please let me know if you could take a look into this bug. Thanks

We have developed a plugin called “Dualite” for Figma and want to publish it, but when I try to publish, I get an error saying, “We detected a change to your account details. Please contact support@figma.com to publish this plugin. Please resolve at the earliest. Our major critical update is due.

I have a lof of drafts. Today I duplicated a draft and it says after the copy and it goes into edit mode: You don’t have access to this file. If I try to move it, it shows that it’s not located in DRAFTS at all, but in “Another user’s folder” and I can’t duplicate, edit or do anything. So did Figma turn off unlimited drafts now? This would be a pretty weird way to do it?

This just started happening. When I go to the Figma home tab, it never loads, nor does it show an indication that it’s trying to load. Reloading the tab, restarting: nothing helps. Internet is fine, and design tabs that I have open load fine So, no access to any of my files, except (thankfully) open design tabs. Using Figma Mac client, no updates available. Here’s what I see:

Here’s my dashboard since I’ve moved items into trash.
