When you format a component description (bold text, lists, etc), that formatting is only visible if you hit “show more” on a variant’s description. If you just look at the short version of it (2), everything runs together in one line, no breaks. And if your description is very short - not long enough to trigger the “show more” link - you never see the actual, formatted description, because again, hitting ‘show more’ is the only way to see see the full description. As far as I can tell it’s impossible now to have line breaks in that abbreviated description, which makes it look kinda gross.


How I’m formatting this description:

1


2: what you see in the abbreviated description:

2


3: You have to hit ‘show more’ to actually see all this

When you write out component documentation, Figma ignores line breaks and jams everything together in one line. Variant documentation works correctly.

Just realized I posted something similar over a year ago, why do I even bother posting here lmao

*makes effort post detailing some tiny but valid bug

**waits 30 days for the inevitable thread-death

Hi @Travis2 ! Thank you for your feedback, I’ve raised it to our team for consideration.

In the meantime, I have merged your two topics as they are similar 🙂
