Figma prototype UI obscuring fixed website header

  1. 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…

  1. Add as much context as possible (screenshots, Figma files, mockups, etc.)

    Echoing everyone else’s frustrations.

    We can’t expect a client (who probably is unfamiliar with the platform or non-technical in general) to be able to navigate to the Figma UI view if I send a link suppressing that, and I guarantee I’ll get complaints that they can’t get around or the nav missing.

    The simplest solution is just to ensure the designs always rest below the Figma UI

      Agreed. We shouldn’t have to adjust our design to accommodate for this design flaw. Suggest making the default view without this UI obstruction and still allowing for client to comment within the same view.

      Again, this is a problem but turning off the Figma UI hides the Prototype starting points list on the left side which is a feature I love…

        Figma, please fix this bug. It’s causing problems for the normal user. We as designers know how to turn this off. But for new users, it’s not super-friendly.

          This is causing all kinds of issues in sharing the designs. Please fix this. No need for a transparent overlay, we need integrity of design on screen.

            found a solution for it.
            just untick “show figma ui” in options dropdown.

            Why it’s still not fixed? It’s super easy to solve without having to hide UI (Because that way I lose access to important features in the prototype view). The prototype should always start below the Figma header. What’s the point of overlapping Figma UI over my prototype?

                bump, incredibly pathetic how this issue hasn’t been solved after almost an entire year now. almost laughable really, just don’t make it an overlay for crying out loud… you’d think someone on their design team actually thought about this stuff… 🤔

                  Please fix this incredibly silly UI/UX decision…
