Auto-layered objects outside a frame are hard to select as a whole! + other issues

I don’t think this used to be a problem, but since the new update it’s now full of bugs and I really miss the old UI. The bottom menu is a waste of space, just put it back in the top and let us use the short cuts! I have a habit of creating components outside a frame and I noticed that recently, it’s super hard to select objects grouped by auto-layout! I’m forced to put the whole thing in a frame just to do this or it will drag out individual element eventhough they’re all inside an auto-layout! Another thing about ‘Shift + I” shortcut for inserting components is that it will always prioritize inserting inside an auto-layered object closest to my cursor rather than where my mouse key is pointing, EVERY SINGLE TIME.

Move or Add "Spell Check" Settings to the User-Settings-Dialog

Hi, I have been searching to disable the “Spell Check”. While the Online Guide explains it clearly where to find it, intuitively I wouldn’t expect it there. To me, Spell Checking is either a user-setting or a preference of the application, not specific to the document or whatever I’m currently editing. I would suggest either moving or adding the “spell check” to the user-settings dialogue or the application-preferences. Option A Option B Let me know what you think Regards Lukas

Meta: Feedback to the forum itself

Every good forum usually has a “meta” category where to submit shortcomings/proposals on the forum software itself. Due to lack of this I will post my Meta suggestion into the closest available category, which is: Share Your Thoughts → Share Your Feedback. But I recommend you to create such a category, which is a best practise.

Community Button Gone?

​​​​​The button for this was so easy to find always in the bottom left of the screen. First the icon recently changed to what looked like a notebook, then it kept moving around and now disappearing all together. It’s now completely gone, and after minutes of searching the closest thing I found was the Templates and tools section, but it is broken as the search function always returns the same set of results shown in the screenshot. Why does a perfectly functioning thing constantly have to get changed, confusing the users?

Figma AI's Edit Image feature is not good

My original command: “Move the subject to the left so that there is more background on the right side of the image.”. Figma AI not only did the command but also decided to give me a facial feature update So… My facial feature was changed by Figma AI, even though the command was not containing anything regarding editing the subject. I find it problematic, because my ethnicity is changed & without consent.

Jarring experience with hiding/showing left panel in UI3

Hi Figma, Could the right panel stay fixed when the left panel is hidden? I'm not sure why it switches from fixed to floating. Also, when I zoom in on an element with the left panel hidden, parts of its area gets hidden behind the floating right panel. Is that the expected behavior? I've attached a video below to add more context.

Inaccessible text in boolean property modal list

When I select an element in a component or component set to add a boolean property, Figma displays a modal window showing the list of available properties. But boolean properties with long names are truncated without any option to disclose the full name. Please Figma should provide a resize capability or tooltip option for the modal to make it more accessible.

Connected Projects is a pretty big letdown

I was genuinely excited about this new feature, not just because it helps reduce the double dipping on seat pricing, but because it seemed like a much simpler way to collaborate with external teams and clients who have their own Figma accounts. Unfortunately, the current limitations around the very minimal number of connections make it feel fairly useless, especially for a small agency like ours that work with multiple different teams every day. I had hoped this would be similar to Slack’s connection feature. More importantly, the feature still feels underdeveloped. Our team typically sets up two folders per client: 1 internal for exploration and iteration, and 1 external for sharing polished work. We were hoping the connected projects feature could replace our external folder and streamline collaboration. But when we tested it by adding a completed website and design system to a connected project for the client’s team to use, we quickly ran into an issue. Our team couldn’t access the

Figma Sites preview doesn't include styles?

I’m playing around in figma sites and I’ve got some specific text styles and crops on a component, but when I view it in the ‘preview mode’ all the styles get resset to default (ie font not showing up, clip content not working, etc). Anyone else having the same issue?

Payment Transparency

The changes made to the transparency in the seat approval settings are very welcome. Without the 'Manual approve seat if available' and 'What is included' options, I paid for unintended seats several times in the past. This makes controlling costs much easier. Thank you for listening to the feedback.

Friendly variable interface and Rich Text Formatting in string variable

Hi Figma team and community, First off, I just want to say that variables have been a game changer for me and my team. They’ve helped us improve both the efficiency and accuracy of our designs in a big way. As we move toward treating our Figma files as the single source of truth for all customer-facing content, I wanted to share some feedback that might make variables even more powerful—especially for teams that are serious about using them to scale design operations. Disclaimer: I haven’t searched to see if these ideas have been raised already, so if there’s any overlap—pardon the redundancy! 1. Rich Text Formatting Support There are many times when a string includes things like hyperlinks, bold or colored text, or even superscripts—especially in compliance disclosures. It would be tremendously helpful if variables could support some basic rich text formatting to reflect these needs more accurately in design. 2. Composable String Variables (and Maybe Formulas?) Right now, if I want to

UI2 is Back — Because the User Always Wins!

I stopped waiting for a fix.I built it myself. Yes — a full browser extension that brings back UI2 the way we all remember it. Everything just… feels like home again. I know you miss me :( And I didn’t build this because I’m a developer with nothing to do.I built this because I felt ignored. A while ago, I made a post: “UI3 mess: We never asked for this dear Figma or I should say Adobe…” Some of you replied. It got views. It got shared.And yet — nothing changed.Figma never responded. No option to switch. No care. So instead of shouting into the void, I opened my laptop and said: Fine. I’ll fix it myself. I’m just a guy from a third-world country who genuinely loves Figma — for the Figma that just worked! But I do have strong opinions, decent dev skills, and apparently… a lot of free rage to convert into code.So I poured it all into this. UI2 — back. Functional. Familiar. Home. But here’s the twist:I’m not done. I’ve had ideas for ages — like being able to customize your shortcuts.Imagi

'Show more properties' button

Usability problem. Could we get rid of the 'Show more properties' button and show properties always open, please? It's very annoying to have to click it open every time. Or provide user preferences.

Streamlined Variable Deletion with Substitution in Figma

Our design system in Figma often involves iterative refinement, leading to the identification of redundant variables (colors, etc.). These unnecessary variables are often duplicates of existing ones, linked to the same foundational variable library. To improve the organization and maintainability of our design system, we require a more efficient way to remove these redundant variables. Currently, deleting a variable that is in use by multiple objects and elements within our designs is a cumbersome and potentially error-prone process. We propose a new feature: when a user attempts to delete a variable, Figma should present a prompt asking which existing variable they would like to substitute for the one being deleted. This functionality would allow designers to seamlessly replace the usage of the obsolete variable with a chosen, equivalent variable across all instances where it is currently applied. This would significantly streamline the process of cleaning up our variable library, ens

Alignment and Gap in auto layout should be switched

The new auto layout design seems unintuitive now that gap and alignment placement has been switched (alignment left, gap right). We would be far more likely to ‘set and forget’ the alignment, but often do tinker with spacing and gaps in auto layout. Every time I intuitively reach to edit gap in auto layout, I have to scan and mouse over alignment, something that just doesn't need to be in the way. Gap and alignment should be swapped back to what it was (alignment right, gap left). Anyone else experiencing this friction? Otherwise, this auto layout update is a wonderful and welcome change!

New function "GRID" in AutoLayout

Hi, I am trying to use the new function “GRID” into AutoLayout setting. AS you can see from my image, the component “SIMBOLO” is made by 9 circles, I can easily set the padding between them, and it’s ok. But WHY does the height not fit to the contents? I cannot set HUG contents both. on Height nor Width. This cause a problem in using the istance for misalignment in over-nesting autolayout, as an example. Thank you for the attention Have a good weekend!

Can't connect arrows to right sides of containers in tightly packed layouts

First of all, I’m using a FigJam arrow inside of a Figma document. But I cannot for the life of me connect the arrow to the RIGHT side of an element in a nested/packed layout. Why? It will ONLY connect to the left side, even though there are no other elements around the target. This is so aggravating! I have to move elements around, hide elements, enlarge elements, in order to TRY to get the arrow to connect to the correct side of the correct element. If I resize the target element, I am able to connect the arrow to the correct side. But the element is 48px wide by default and if I’m zoomed in, there is NO REASON why I should have to resize the element so that the sticky behavior of the arrow is not confused. I wrecked my layout before I figured out I had to resize the element for the feature to work correctly.

EXPORT FIGMA TO POWERPOINT & GOOGLE SLIDES

We love you guys and I mean BIG TIME! Thank you for making life easy with figma. What about the recent updates, mwahhhhh… they are so sweet. However, we have large clients based who always want their presentations in Powerpoint & Google Slides but Figma slides can’t do that too. It will be very great to have that feature to export designs and presentations to powerpoint & google slides. Can we have it like sooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnn 🥹🥹🥹🥹Thank you!

Grid (Beta) vs Layout Guide (Former Layout Grid) vs Auto Layout (Horizontal/Vertical) - Analysis

Background: Let’s start with what is going on. Last config, Figma launched a new feature in Figma Design called Grid (Beta) which is I think an additional for the Figma Layouts. I’ve tried to look on what’s the difference between the new feature and the existing Layout Grid now Layout Guide (why would you rename existing features?) and all I could say is its the same thing, but with snapping element feature. Auto - Layout (Vertical/Horizontal): A full auto-layout container has the ability to hug layers inside and adjust its dimension automatically In order to mimic the grid system, have to create a child container for the elements either by row or column, depending on your setup Adjust gaps between elements on the main container and the child containers Can add min and max for height or width to control column or row dimension Can use hug to set height and width of a specific column/row to automatic Layout Guide (Former Layout Grid): Can’t adjust dimension automatically (no hugs) Layou

Limitation on Sharing Prototypes in the starter plan

Figma started out as a tool primarily focused on prototyping, with a focus on accessibility and collaboration. Limiting the sharing of prototype links on the sStarter platform goes against this spirit. This alienates non-users from the platform, creating unnecessary barriers and, apparently, only with the aim of monetizing more. I think the company should maintain the possibility of sharing prototypes separately — even if it were limited to one at a time — so that designers and teams can continue to show their work to clients, stakeholders or colleagues without requiring everyone to have an account. Continuing with this limitation could end up shooting themselves in the foot. Many users should start considering more open alternatives, which could be detrimental to the image and growth of the platform in the future. What is your opinion on this?
