When a word is bold and is misspelled, selecting a spelling recommendation removes the text styling. This does the same thing with color, it’s very annoying!

 

You can see the “:” is still bold after the spell change, but “Recommendation” isn’t.

Hi ​@Katelyn - tee,

 

I understand that you’re experiencing an issue where applying a spell check suggestion removes the text styling (such as bold) from your text.

I tested this on my end but wasn’t able to reproduce the issue — after selecting a suggestion, the font styling remained the same.

 

To start troubleshooting, could you please check the following:

  1. Are you using the Spell check option from the menu? You can confirm this by referring to our Help Center article: Use spell check

  2. Does this happen in the browser, the desktop app, or both?

Please also try the following quick fixes to see if the issue persists:

  • Close any unused Figma tabs.

  • Browser: Force-quit and reopen Figma in a new browser window.

  • Desktop App: Force-quit and restart the Figma Desktop app.


If you’re using the spell check from the Figma menu and have tried the quick fixes but the issue still persists, I recommend reaching out to our team directly through this secure form: Submit a request

When submitting your request, please include:

  • A screen recording of the issue (showing the full Figma screen)

  • Your answers to the questions 1. 2. above, as well as the language(s) you’ve selected for spell check.

  • The troubleshooting steps you’ve already tried

This information will help our team investigate the issue further.

 

Thanks,
