When I try to interact with Figma using touch or pen input, certain UI elements, such as plugin windows and scrolling through lists, do not work as expected. The issue occurs on a Surface Pro 11 X Elite running Windows 11. Steps to reproduce: Open the Figma native app on the mentioned device. Attempt to scroll through a list or interact with a plugin window using touch or pen input. Observe that the UI does not respond correctly. Expected behavior: Touch and pen interactions should seamlessly work for all UI elements, including plugin windows and list scrolling. Device details: Device: Surface Pro 11 X Elite OS: Windows 11 Please investigate this issue as it significantly impacts usability for devices relying on touch or pen input. Thank you!

Describe the problem your experiencing and how your idea helps solve this The issue with this feature has been covered many times in Spectrum discussions:Spectrum – 3 Jan 18 There is a way to avoid this by holding SPACE as soon as you click & don’t start dragging the object. But why force us to do acrobatics with our fingers by holding down an additional button, just to move the object? Why not provide an option to disable that functionality completely? Nagaraj Chandran had a very logical idea in his comment: “I don’t want to hold the spacebar key to disable auto-nesting. Maybe, it should be the other way around. Hold spacebar or any other key to auto-nest.” Add as much context as possible (screenshots, Figma files, mockups, etc.) More than enough in discussions on Spectrum ☝️ Ask questions to bring the community into the conversation Does anybody find this feature useful? If yes, please enlighten me on how to make use of it because it’s driving me insane and ki

The UI can get over crowded with annoying frame/component names hanging off their top edges. I have not found a way to disable/hide these. Please tell me there is a way! 🙂

How can I change settings of video fill to speed play faster? will that be supported or added anytime soon?

Figma sites doesn't seem to support Figma Draw brushes, will that be included in the upcoming updates?

It would be awesome if we could get access to copy and paste data in the Plugin API. We’re looking at creating a product which allows users export from our site to Figma (ideally through the clipboard) and the current ways of doing that involve some gnarly scripting I’d rather avoid. If there’s another solution that would be awesome too! To be more specific the endpoint would be used like let copyData = figma.selection[0].copyData so we could copy that into users clipboards on our site.

Hi Figma Team,I’d love to see an enhancement to FigJam that allows videos (and GIFs) to autoplay, play simultaneously, and loop continuously. This would be an amazing addition for creating video moodboards where multiple videos can be displayed and automatically played in sync. It would allow users to create dynamic and immersive visual experiences directly within FigJam, perfect for design inspiration and collaboration.Thank you for considering this feature!

Hey Figmates! After using variables for some months now i´ve come to a conclusion that that three levels of variables doesn´t suit every project. Or at least my projects, when it comes to theming different product pages. Until yesterday i used primitives, semantics, and themes as suggested by many users, as a proper setup. But, it just felt too bounding.You can easily just use the the primitive and semanitic level. With Modes as the theming.But, now its a bit frustrating. In the appearance menu, its to set menues – theming and semantics. Its unchangeble. The “Theming” now its linked to the semantics menu. I changed the setup to have an easier workflow, without being too specific with the naming in the theming process.Any thoughts on this?

Was told by a Figma rep that there are only 200+ requests for Figma to export as webP - and they didn’t sound positive that it would be integrated. So, I want to rally the community to push for this feature. There are already paid plugins out there that do this, so there must be a need. Show your support and let’s push the incredible team at Figma to incorporate it!

Hi, We are working on a pixelart project and figured out it would actually speedup our workflow A LOT if it was possible to disable Anti-Aliasing everywhere for viewing, editing and exporting. Having the option to disable it per object could also be interesting. Is this something you guys could add? Thank you very much.

When you create a prototype with the Open overlay interaction to trigger a bottom sheet, it works well, until you actually want to put that prototype in a slide. Once you include it in a slide, the Overlay uses the slide as its parent, not the phone screen, so it appears from the bottom of the slide, making the interaction very unrealistic. Using ‘manual’ position doesn’t solve it, because you still see the modal appearing from the bottom of the slide.To solve this I’ve created an interactive component that fakes the appearance of the sheet by using Smart Animate, but it’s so much work for such a simple use case.Would be great to get a solution for this, as I assume many people are embedding prototypes in presentations.Note: when I say slide, I’m not talking about Figma Slides, but the classic slides we’ve been using before that.Thanks

Please bring back ui2, it's very hard to work with Figma right now actually. Instead of a gradual change, everything changed all at once. There's no need to make things more complicated than they need to be.I've always been a big fan of Figma. It's so easy to use and it's a pleasure to work with. After spending some time getting to know Adobe's various features, I've found a product that's as easy as it is delightful. Whether I can creating both banners or designing pages, this product makes it a breeze. I learned all the features and capabilities in just one day in UI2!Now, with the new UI3, working with a simple project is lengthened many times over. I just wanted to let you know that the menu on the right is very tricky to use. It's working with frames, and the position of objects inside has become inconvenient and very long.I would really appreciate it if you could bring back the UI2 selection. I'm struggling with the new interface for the third day and can't get used to it.I had n

​​É uma coisa boba, mas seria bom vcs arrumarem, na parte do stroke q eu posso selecionar o tipo de borda da linha, ao selecionar o contorno se é borda arredondada, retangular e etc, ta certinho, porém na parte de selecionar a linha ela deixa invertida, seleciono uma direção ela me entrega o contrario, isso é coisa pequena mas pra quem tem toque é foda kkk 

As a user I want to lock the guides so that I dont accidently select or move them. This is frustrating. There are times when layout grids are are the correct tool to use and a time when guides/rules are the correct tool. When you are zoomed out it’s impossible to select elements without selecting or moving guides/rules. 🙂 …to everything turn turn turn turn…

I find managing template colors really difficult in Slides. I can’t easily organize, re-order, or rename them. I’ve found some ways to hack it but it feels really convoluted trying to provide color options in the templates I’m making. I think Slides is doing a really great job on most fronts and I love the product, but I find myself just using colors from other libraries because managing them within Slides is so confusing.

Right now, once you create a Main Component, there is no way to convert it back into a normal Frame/Group/Autolayout. If a component is no longer useful, we are forced to use the workaround: create instance → detach → delete main component. This adds extra steps and slows down workflow. Request: Please add a simple option like “Remove Component” that instantly converts a main component back to its original state.This would save time, reduce friction, and improve cleanup when working with experimental or temporary components.

The main source of inspiration for this idea was to match the keyboard shortcuts themselves to different keyboard layouts. Right now, users who don’t use US keyboards have to memorize the location of the keys, rather than to use the actual character location to be able to use the shortcuts. Those involving this region are primarily the case: ABNT2 layout (Brazil). And here’s an example of confusing shortcuts: Although this problem could be solved by just rebinding the shortcuts to the actual character and not the location on the keyboard, I’ve noticed there are some other issues concerning key bindings. On this forum post, a member of the community asked for help on backing one layer level with a different shortcut from what Figma has right now. This makes the user adapt their workflow to the tool, and not the other way around — and that hinders efficiency. It would be nice if the tool itself provided some sort of customization on this regard. Although being a workaround, Mac users c

The current Tables feature in Figma feels quite limited. It would be fantastic if some basic functionalities could be introduced soon, such as: • The ability to easily resize cells without needing to adjust font size • The option to merge cells • Top, middle, and bottom text alignment options These enhancements would bring Figma’s table functionality more in line with what we already have in tools like Keynote and Google Slides.

I’m writing to express my deep frustration with the current limitations of Figma’s Slide Deck feature. As a tool celebrated for its UI/UX capabilities, it’s astonishing that Figma lacks fundamental functionalities that are already included in other design platforms. Key Issues: Absence of Interactive Buttons for Non-Linear Navigation: The inability to create buttons within slides that link to other slides severely restricts the creation of dynamic, user-driven presentations. This is a basic feature in tools like Canva, which allows for interactive menus and branching scenarios. Smart Animation for Linked Slides: Once non-linear navigation is added, Smart Animate should apply smoothly across these links to keep animations consistent. This avoids disrupting animations when navigating non-linearly, ensuring a seamless experience. Enhanced Linking Visualization in Grid View: The Grid View is a great feature, but to avoid the mess of overlapping arrows like in Figma’s Prototype mode,

There a lot of new features coming to Figma every Config, like a Figma version of Powerpoint or Illustrator. But this forum is full of requests related to issues people face building UIs.Here are some recent Figma updates that are really amazing:Keep aspect ratio Reorder variable modesThese features cannot be replaced with plugins or external apps, and they save a lot of time for large projects. But, it took years to implement so much requested concepts. And now, with the new “Grid” feature (which is very much needed) — same situation: it is unusable in its current state. And there’s no hope it will usable when out of beta (as it was with variables). Don’t get me wrong, I really like accessibility check in the new color picker. But this can be done, a bit slower, with a plugin. And, there are lot of basic things, that cannot be done at all:to set a prototype size per flow. Why can’t I have my desktop mockups on the same Figma page as my mobile mockups? to use component variants for sta

When creating grid as a style (in design system) and applying to a screen, I cannot hide it. The ‘eye’ for visibility is missing. It really bugs me because I can’t see my design properly and have to remove ad place the grid again.  Grid when it is styleGrid when it is not a style 

It would be great if we could select different device frames for each flow. This would give huge benefits to those who design responsive websites side by side.

I would be nice to have the Device settings specific to each Flow Starting Point so I can keep Desktop/Tablet/Mobile on the same page.

How easy would it be for Figma to have a simple item in the right-click menu (and main menu) for character count or word count? Surely there are plugins like Word Counter, the one that I just tried and it doesn’t work 🤬. And easy enough to do it on the web. But how about I select the paragraph I worked with and see how many words I have? Right there where I am working? Also, if this exists…educate me. 😉
