Figma prototype UI obscuring fixed website header

Describe the problem your experiencing and how your idea helps solve this Screenshot and sample file below. I’m using an iMac sized frame with extended height. This issue is exacerbated by the fact that this is the now the default view when using multiple flow starting points and is the only way to actually change the flow starting point. So you have a constant trade-off of whether you want to see the Figma controls or your prototype’s. Annoying as hell. EDIT: When sidebar is hidden, the fixed header is visible but inaccessible. As soon as the cursor hovers near it, the Figma UI appears over the (clickable) website header. Wow… Add as much context as possible (screenshots, Figma files, mockups, etc.) https://www.figma.com/file/WlYbWyHwtBGEFZihdMt2az/Bug-Obscured-fixed-header?node-id=0%3A1

Hi – this profile isn’t associated with Figma, but maybe they should have a channel for supporting researchers, yeah?

This is a big pain point for our organization at the moment blocking the potential to switch to Figma from Sketch + Invision.

We cannot ask top management or have training sessions just to be able to teach them to view the top of the desktop page designs.

It would be great if it could get fixed.

You can hide top black bar by pressing this ctrl + \ or ctrl in windows.

This totally works. Thanks.

@muneeb_qazi, thank you for the solution, unfortunately this still does not solve the issue what @Slava_Bronevitskiy pointed out.

"Empathise with this:
We have 7 designers who share prototypes with 100 to potentially 1000 colleagues and managers. We send the link (or post it on knowledge management platform) to a mobile or desktop design and get contacted back about design being “cut off”, “unable to click on top navigation that is barely sticking out”, or “lacking navigation bar” (because they don’t even know there is navigation bar design underneath the Figma bar.

Now we designers can hide it (even though it’s annoying repeated task) because we work with Figma and know how it works. 99,993% of our organisation can’t."

That works great as e temporary fix but is a bad workaround.

Figma please fix this bug! 🙂 Thanx!!

⌘/ or uncheck option of “Show Figma UI” in the preview options and then generate a new link 🙂

YES! This is super annoying if you want to show the multiple flows to a client or in a user testing session. Why would the top bar obscure the design at all… please fix!!
