UI3 Feedback

The right side panel automatically pops up when an item is clicked on, which is good if you are editing that item. However, many times I might be moving an item or commenting on an item and the item or comment gets covered up by the right panel. When this happens I have to stop my progress and move the page so the item doesn’t get covered up by that panel.

The new UI is so much off, starting with the prioritization of the most-used features and ending with its clutter. Of course, naturally, there’s some initial resistance to such radical changes, but the real issue is that some of these changes are hard to justify. Especially, considering there are many small things those are waiting for improvements for years—but remaining ignored for some reason.

Haven’t seen the new UI, but this is certainly a very insightful review. Thanks for taking the time, I hope that the Figma team is going to hear this

Hello. Old UX shortcuts are broken and no longer available in UI3. For instance, clicking on the text “Export” no longer adds a new export to the list - which is a bit strange because it means that I have to click this stupidly small button now to do one of the main purposes of even using Figma in the first place for many kinds of design. Please–reconsider adding more convenient hitboxes for common actions.

I 100% agree on all of this. I was excited to try this out, but my first impressions are not positive. As a long-time Figma user, I’ve grown accustomed to the simplicity of the UI and how it added a great deal of benefit to my design teams without blowing the bank (I’m looking at you Adobe).

This latest update is atrocious, specifically the right Design panel. Nothing about this makes sense. My life was made harder and less efficient.

I wanted to like it, but the readability of icons and things is far worse. I switched back as properties panel is a mess

New icons are terrible. smaller and less readable. On my retina monitor it is almost not usable, while I could work easily with UI2. Creating masks, components etc totally out of place. Navigation on bottom conflicting with the hidden task bar on windows. I need to be extra cautious not to trigger the taskbar, with the classic ui on top, there was no issue with it.

The same issue with windows taskbar.

I miss the old days when you could have a tool not change on you with what feels like a massive downgrade all over, even as a user that uses Remote Devices with Touch Interfaces.

This was not the way to solve that problem.

The underlying operation is not friendly to human operation and blocks the interface.
The shortcut keys for commonly used plug-ins are gone, which is very unfriendly.
The properties of the widgets inside the component cannot be associated with the current component and cannot be found in the component display, which greatly affects efficiency.
