If you right-click on an object in FigJam and choose “Export selection…” the exported PNG or JPG image includes are large empty space around the object. Is this intentional? In my use so far it has been unwanted extra space that I need to trim with Figma or another app.

I'm honestly furious. The new design is simply bad and they are forcing it on us.Basic tasks now take more clicks, which slows us down. The bar underneath is distracting, and I can't understand why every single thing in the panel needs a different background color or a stroke. It's visually overwhelming and makes it harder to focus and find what I need. The interface feels cluttered and inefficient. It's honestly ironic—and disappointing—that a UX/UI tool is creating such usability problems.What is this? Actions that were previously accessible at the top are now crammed awkwardly into the top of the side panel—because apparently the panel was too clean before? For some reason, position and dimensions are now separated, adding more friction to simple tasks. And then there’s the action bar... at the bottom?Seriously? We read from top to bottom. We work from top to bottom. Putting key actions at the bottom—where they overlap the wo

I want to go back to UI1. I want to go back to the most original!The sidebar layout of UI3 and the move of the top tools to the bottom both make me very uncomfortable.Is the person who designed the figma interface a designer? Don't you know how important a larger space is to designers? Why is it annoying to have a buoy at the bottom? Just for the sake of looking good?When using figma, I mostly implement designs within web pages, so I hardly look at the top web page tags. Similarly, I also ignore the top tool navigation of figma.Now it's fine. Not only do I have no top space, but the bottom space has also been reduced.If figma were to force a change in users' habits, I would have to leave figma and use other design tools that make me comfortable.

Hi- enable move and hide toolbar as it is disturbing for many designers- enable different color theme for righ and left panels, and a choise of more scales of grey, as it is in PS

I use keyboard shortcuts (as I’m sure most “power users” do), so I don’t need the toolbar for anything. Now it’s just blocking valuable visible area. Please add an option to hide it. I know I’m not alone, because there’s already even a Chrome extension that does this. (How to Hide Figma Toolbar (Bottom) in the new UI3 - SaaS Design) Unfortunately that doesn’t help in the desktop app.

 Aannotation should have a dedicated panel, similar to the comments panel, where all annotations can be viewed and managed more easily.Some context about our team: we use annotations not only for design notes, but also to indicate where event tracking should be implemented. Currently, annotations are too subtle on the canvas, making it difficult for engineers to quickly locate them. This impacts communication and slows down development.

1. When I open a file in the community in the figma application, and then try to go back, the preserve scroll position does not work, and every time I need to scroll from the very beginning2. When I open a plugin in a file by clicking on opening a plugin through the community, the community tab automatically disappears from the tab panel at the top, the only way to go to this file in the community is to click on the community tab in the window of the plugin opened in the file, but then I go to the file again, and I can no longer return back to the list of what I am looking for

It bothers me going back & forth between my mac & my iPad when making figjam boards, mainly because the full desktop version has the ability to create & view projects, while the iPad version is restricted to recents, drafts, or stars, without organizing any boards in projects. Please add the ability to organize & view projects on the iPad as well, thanks!

 We have non-visual team members who are unable to fully participate in the process. Although an accessible navigable version has been released, it currently reads only “links” and does not allow adjustments to specify elements as buttons, for example.To ensure a fully accessible experience, our components should include a dedicated area in their original specifications for defining the correct accessibility roles and attributes. This allows screen readers to navigate the entire screen — not just elements anchored in the HTML.

My team designs complex, data-dense UIs—absolutely packed with text layers. It’s wild.We’re typically subject matter experts in our business area, but our job is to craft narratives that stakeholders can actually follow. To do that, we rely heavily on our PM partners to tell us how to label charts, buttons, lists—you name it—to help sell the concept.So why should viewers be able to edit text directly?Simple: efficiency. Instead of waiting on a PM or stakeholder to respond to a comment with the right copy—then having to copy/paste it into the right layer—just let the person with the right info update it themselves. Asynchronously. This would save us a ton of time during implementation and eliminate the endless back-and-forth over wording.Thanks

I love Figma and have enjoyed used it since the very beginning. It has come on leaps and bounds since since its early days. However, one pain point that continues to frustrate me is the decimal resizing issue, as detailed here almost exactly four years ago - https://spectrum.chat/figma/general/how-to-prevent-decimal-pixels~a6007961-7415-4c1e-9430-7e420491c446 Despite all the other fantastic enhancements in the platform, it is disappointing that this core issue is still present. Even in the latest Playground file (produced by your own team) outlining the latest ‘Copy & Paste’ advancements, you can see the problem firsthand, as per the screenshot below. FAO @Figma & @Figma_Support. Plea

I change my section background color to 10% black. The layer labels are barely visible requiring me to create my own labels so partners know what layers I’m referencing. Is there a way to set the default label color so it is visible? I would add a screenshot but you can’t see anything. Doh!Alternatively, is there a way for Figma to auto detect the background color and set the label text so it passes accessibility contrast ratios? Seems like an accessibility bug.

Why should I continue to be a customer when you, Figma, will just do whatever you like with my workflow? Why would I trust you to do what’s best for me and my JOB when you make changes like this? When you make a tool that people rely on for their livelihoods, they really don’t like it when you fuck around with it for your shitty business reasons. Stop making it your customers problem that you feel the need to staple new bullshit into an already over stuffed tool.“You’ll get used to it” is a really shitty business model to force your your customers in to. All your telling me is I need to find an alternative ASAP so I don’t get locked into an Adobe like ecosystem and business model again. I won’t be renewing our contract with you.

I would love to have a higher contrast theme for Figma’s UI. It has long been a minor annoyance to me that a tool I use to create accessible designs doesn’t itself meet minimum accessibility requirements. However I’m now at a point where it’s actively impeding my own workflows. I’m currently going over hand-off-ready designs to make sure they use variables in all their autolayouts. The distinction between pixel inputs that have variables assigned to them and those that don’t is unfortunately abysmal, making the work very strenuous when it doesn’t need to be. The little raised/sunken area and border around the value isn’t anywhere near WCAG contrast recommendations in either theme.

Figma, please add connectors as a standard feature in Figma. I am willing to pay for it as a separate feature.  

Currently auto layout arranges layers from bottom up, i.e. the lower most layer in the layers list appears on top of every other layer on the workspace. This creates two problems 1. Confusion There’s a clear confusion of the order of layers shown in the layers menu and the representation in the workspace. This requires a bit of getting

This new Figma UI3 is just awful. Everything looks weird and it's super confusing now. I hate it. Why did you even change anything? It was fine before. Nothing makes sense anymore. Total downgrade. Please just put it back or something. I'm literally begging. Ew. Also, if you're not going to revert it, at least give us a 'Classic UI' toggle so we can pretend everything’s still okay. Thanks, I guess.

For a plugin developer, the transform property of Figma is a mystery. When you try to rotate the gradient axis, you will find that the gradient will deform unexpectedly, and you cannot change the center point of rotation. This is completely different from the characteristics presented in the UI, where you can adjust the angle of the gradient transformation at will without worrying about the damn deformation. I don’t understand why Figma, as a UI design tool, does not adopt the same logic as the transform property of CSS, which will avoid a lot of unnecessary troubles. At the same time, I think the transform property of CSS is more powerful and supports 3D perspective, rotation, and displacement. So Figma really doesn’t plan to improve your transform property?

Hello!Please refine the "Set variable" function so that values can be assigned not only in "Mode 1" but also in other modes.For example: I have a variable MyVar (boolean type) with two modes (Mode 1, Mode 2).I want my prototype to allow me to set MyVar to True in Mode 2 when clicking a custom button. Currently, this is not possible.

For the first time in my life I write a post here. Today, during a demo of my monthly work in the presence of 30 colleagues, figma replaces UI2 with UI3. Thank you, I failed demo because I could not navigate in my own space! Well, that’s what I’ll accept and I will get out.But... I have burning deadlines, I have a release, but the guys from Figma decided that it’s not as important as changing the position of all tools, changing their icons, overloading the right menu with "beautiful UI"…Now instead of working, I have to retrain, you slowed my work several times. Will you pay me for this? Because my employer isn’t!I say this very rarely, because, in general, I am patient with people and their mistakes. Seriously, the dude who invented UI3 and made up his mind from this release, if you’re reading this, think about the meaning of your existence. It’s not normal, it’s beyond good and evil. Imagine that in your house, which you pay for, some man will b

I scroll through here and see many folks upset about UI3… and I guess my feelings about it overall are not as strong because I could live with the unmovable toolbar but I will say that tucking Plugins and Assets under “Actions” is a terrible user experience. Ironic… considering who uses Figma primarily are UX designers.  99% of the time I’m going into “Actions” it’s to grab a component and it’s incredibly annoying to have to click open, search, click assets, click more when it doesn’t show in the first 4 suggestions… Even using hotkeys to do this is painful. Could I just have a “Assets” button that has all my components in a scrollable little window? Please?

Hi, Is this crazy? But wondering if there was any way  the max / min could be a fill so you didn't have to set to variable?

Our IT-team needs fast and high quality animated projects, which Figma does good, but unfortuinately there's not export-videoformat. In my opinion a lot of people would like to make such a function.Thanks in advance!

If you value the users, you should listen to your community. Someone is fine with the new design, but some people raise a strong voice that they prefer the classic one. Why you ignore them and remove the option to use the classic interface?! 

I absolutely do not like UI3, please don’t make us switch!!
