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.”

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?

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'

​​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…

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.

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

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

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.  

We just wrapped the big announcements at Config, and we know there’s a lot to take in.This thread is your space to share reactions, ask questions, and let us know what you're excited about (or still curious about) with regard to Figma Make. Our team will be actively reading and sharing relevant takeaways with the product team. What we’d love to hear from you:What aspects are you most excited about — and

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. 😉

Просто зачем?Буквально каждая функция в вашем редакторе вызывает только этот вопрос.1.Зачем при копировании текста в одном слое сохраняется не только его содержание но и форматирование? Я даже не представляю кому может понадобиться функция скопировать текст вместе с его размером и жирностью при копировании какого-то одного отрывка - тот кому пришла в голову эта “удобная фича” видимо очень одарен интеллектом2. Зачем в редактировании регистра помимо функций Appercase и Lovercase у вас есть 3-е абсолютно бесполезное редактирование которое только и делает что первые буквы слов заглавными? Она нахрен не нужна если ее не перерабатывать, ПЕРВЫЕ БУКВЫ ДОЛЖНЫ БЫТЬ ЗАГЛАВНЫМИ А ОСТАЛЬНЫЕ СТРОЧНЫМИ иначе это просто бесполезная и нерабочая хрень!!!3. Как у вас работает выделение слоев на разных фреймах? Почему когда я на одном фрейме выбираю фото и пытаюсь это сделать внутри другого я не могу заранее угадать что будет выбрано??? Это просто дикий рандом, то значит выбирается в

It seems that previously link previews were updated in slack to show what was being shared instead of the entire canvas. I missed that and now my links are just links, no preview. Which is better than previewing the entire canvas still.I have the same suggestion for link previews in Teams. Please stop showing the entire canvas in Teams previews and either show just what is being shared, or just don’t show anything.

I have a component library that I want to add support for accessibility. Some of our components need to have HTML tags of alt=“” and aria-label=“”. I would like to have these in Figma for our writers to add content. I’ve looked at a ton of Figma to code plugins, and have tried using text properties, but with no success. Any ideas?

Please simply support the Code Syntax of Variables more holistically in DevMode. Especially in Annotation Properties(!). We recently started making use of the code syntax of variables, but unless it is widely support, it does not seem to be very beneficial for our developers.

As a consumption side of the design system in Figma, it is very hard to realize there’s more information inside the component descriptions. It is like, I didn’t know the team has link documentation there that’s useful for my designs.  It is hard to know that a couple of text lines are clickable and that they contain more than just text. 

The user story is as simple as “As a user of figma design when using the AI tools such as `boost resolution`, `edit image`, `remove background`, I would like to hear a sound feedback when the job is done, so I can do something else while waiting for it to complete and be more productive” I don’t know you guys, but I like the AI features a Lot, and I’ve been working a lot specially with the edit image for videogame placeholder assets (it’s amazing), but I just don’t want to stare a the screen for a 2 minutes doing nothing, I would like to leave it working and do something else. I hope this is a super simple feature you guys can make, it would be good :)

Hello, I’d like to raise what I believe is a very reasonable and long-overdue request.Figma is a professional tool, widely used across design and development teams, and charged at a premium rate. Yet, it lacks a fundamental feature for UI design validation: the ability to float a frame or image in a transparent window above other apps, such as a mobile simulator.This is an essential need when comparing a design with a live implementation, particularly in mobile development. Tools like Overlay (which is currently unreliable), ScreenFloat, or even basic screenshots partially solve this—but these are third-party workarounds for something that should be native to Figma.I’m surprised this hasn’t been addressed yet. It would be extremely useful to: Export or pin a frame as a semi-transparent floating window. Overlay it on top of a running app or simulator to check pixel precision. Adjust opacity and t

I would like to be able to selected multiple child components which are all associated with the same parent component and edit their shared nested instance properties across all selected child components.
