Hi, I’m really tired that when me and my colleague are working on a file, when I choose a device for preview it applies for her too. Like if I’m working on the mobile BP, e she is working on the desktop BP, when I set the preview device for the prototipe, it applies for her too, its a bit annoying that when can’t have 2 different devices as a preview for our prototypes.

Title Typo: "Ungroup" a component and keep properties of nested frameI have a component with a nested frame (in this case it was a subcomponent - because this dated library used master components) I want to rid it of it’s nesting but the nested frame holds the background color, autolayout, stroke, effects etc. Because I can’t ungroup the VARIANT at the top level, I have to re-add those properties after I ungroup the nested frame.  

Can we get a true aspect ratio lock when the ‘Constrain Proportions’ is on? A true aspect ratio lock means two things: When dragging on a node with ‘constrain proportions’, its width and height always stay in their original ratio no matter which direction you drag it. When resizing on the parent of a node with ‘constrain proportions’ that happens to be constrained, the node takes on the smallest of its supposed width and height, and calculates its ratio accordingly. This would be so very helpful to polygon shapes that want to stay in that shape. Consider a spider chart. When you resize its parent, you don’t want the ‘spider net’ to squish squash; neither will you want a doughnut to turn into an oval. *Resizing of the node’s parent layer is inevitable if you need responsive designs.

A colleague has been complaining for a few months that Figma has been lagging much more than usual. This had already been an issue with some of our larger files, especially since he works on Windows while I use a MacBook, but I hadn’t noticed any changes on my end.However, since a recent update, I’ve started experiencing severe lag myself when selecting multiple pages at once or simply multiple components. It has become unbearable to try and organize designs or make bulk edits. The problem seems to have started with the introduction of AI features in the app. My colleague had early access to these features, and the timing appears to correlate with the lag increase.On top of that, many elements in my designs have been breaking for no apparent reason:Frames set to “Fill width” appearing as “Hug,” though this seems to be a visual glitch only. The ability to apply multiple text styles in a single text layer is broken; underlining, strikethrough, color changes, font type, and weight adjustm

When prototyping vertical scrolling, I find it tedious to constantly toggle the container's clipping mask on and off to edit content. Are there any workarounds to avoid this? I don’t want to create a component because the content changes with the progress of prototype.  Figma should automatically turn on clipping mask in Present mode and turn it off in edit mode. 

Why is it that when I create a line using the line tool, it creates the line with two spines (one on either side and one middle one)? When I create a line using the pen tool however, it has one center aligned spine. I’ve seen this contribute to alignment issues, when trying to center align the line tool line within a rectangle, it uses the one of the side spines to create the alignment and therefore isn’t truly centered. Am I missing something? Line tool line (two spines, left and center)Pen tool lineNot center aligned with line tool 

Currently, when using a sticky note in a FigJam document, the aspect ratio is locked so that I cannot adjust it as I wish. This is annoying. Please give us the flexibility to adjust.

Seria legal uma atualização ou a criação de um plugin com a possibilidade de adicionar sangria e marca de corte.

please, made flutter autogenerate code option this framework is more modern, the most highly rated on github, and supports the largest number of operating systems and screen sizes, it is completely universal for all needs for which Figma can serve

An easy way to access the pages/layer panel when the UI is minimised, likeHovering on this shows the pages/layer panel floating and hides when I mouse out of the panel.  Right now I have to toggle between minimised UI and expanded UI just to change pages or look at my layers. I really like using the minimised UI for it’s lesser distractions.

My team made the switch from XD and one thing we really miss is being able to see ALL your comments in the comments section and being able to click on a comment to navigate to the screen the comment was made on. Please add this feature

Need I say more?

Would be great to be able to create Grid layout, in line with what is available with CSS.

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 PLEASE  🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏Add vecotr animaions within figma prototypes.I would love to run eithe lottie, rive or alternatives in my prototype please!Your current plugins only support gif (come on we are not in the 90s anymore) and you state you have lottie support but this is not accurate.I’m sure this is a highly requested item.Please can this be added

I don’t understand why FigJam won’t let us use components inside files. This wasn’t a problem before the latest updates and it makes absolutely no sense. Part of what makes Slides great is that it’s part of Figma. Let me use my colors, fonts, and components please!

I’ve been using variants a lot and for huge numbers of components, it’s amazingly time-consuming. Plugins help but having a keyboard shortcut for “Combine as variants” and “Create multiple components” would help tremendously. Idally, everything would be possible to bind to a custom shortcut. I am proposing the following shortcuts: Create component ⌥⌘K Create multiple components ⌥⇧⌘K Create component set ⌃⌥⌘K Combine as variants ⌥⌘V

If I have nothing selected (2 things needed) - then CTRL+S is saving.If I have two things selected - CTRL+S creates a section. Who got this “great” idea to take a really important saving shortcut and make it two features?And, even if it’s bad and it stays, why doesn’t it create a section from 1 thing selected? WHY? What is the train of thought of people who work on features of this software? WTF?You either ruin things or destroy STANDARDS.

While I appreciate Figma supporting natively spell check, it’s mainly for the English US.I am working inside UK area and I need spell check to work for English UK more.I hope this is something devs can look at it and possibly it can be easy to implement update inside the app. 

I want to open the figma file URL directly within the Figma desktop app. Suggestion: when clicking on the new tab in the desktop app, I can add the URL in the search bar to directly open the file within desktop app. Problem: It’s frustrating to open the copied figma file URL in browser then wait for it to open the app. 

I would like an option to differentiate a comment vs a question so when I am sharing designs with clients, I know where are the key questions to focus on vs general comments by myself or other users.

It is irritating to need to keep looking up how to do common functions because Figma doesn’t follow conventions. Please have the humility to acknowledge most software conventions are learned outside Figma and follow those conventions even if you desire to break the mold. https://lawsofux.com/jakobs-law/I keep needing to look up how to turn text into links. Please, just let me use Ctrl-K.

Hi, I am currently testing the new Figma-UI3. First of all, thank you for all of your amazing work! Unfortunately there is not shown a branch status (e.g. “In-review”, “Merged”, etc.) anymore. I would recommend displaying the status of a branch in Figma-UI3 like it was previously in UI2 (see below). Cheers, Clemens

Figjam just changed their color palette (that looks quiet bad). My problem is that old stickies are still in the old palette, so when I edit a Figjam created before the palette update, I cannot add stickies that are the same color as the existing ones ! The only workout is to change the color of each old sticky note one by one… Expected behaviour : stickies placed before the palette update should be switched to the new palette! (as opposed to frames and shapes that support custom colors should stay as they are)

Hi Figma Team! 👋I have a few ideas that could improve Figma and make it even more versatile:1️⃣ Add a new Instagram post frame – Currently, Figma includes the standard 1080×1080 size, but another widely used format is 1080×1350 (portrait format). It would be great to have this as a preset option.2️⃣ Allow users to create custom frames – Sometimes, I need to create frames with specific dimensions, such as an A4 300 DPI frame for print. Having the ability to set custom resolutions and other parameters would be very useful and safe for next time use3️⃣ Improve optimization for printing – Enhancing rendering and print preparation would help maintain high quality and ensure colors are print-friendly.I’d love to see these features in Figma! Thanks for all your great work 💙

I would very much like a feature to maintain the same width of items in an Autolayout with wrap - even when they are dynamic using “Filled” Ex. i have 3 items in autolayout with wrap on. Width is set to Filled Max width for items are 200 Min width for items are 100 My autolayout width is 300 = all items are on the same row I change autolayout width to 200 = items in 1st row are now 100px wide, Item 3 is pushed to a new row, but stays 100px wide
