LAUNCHED: Horizontal scroll the layers panel

This is absolutely necessary.

Like serious, reported in 2021 and still not allowed in 2023? UX design app which is designed as s&^t… When you want show whole style name you must wait eternity until it show in popup instead of one time resize this idiotic panel…

This can’t be rocket science. By making the properties panel more useful (nested component properties, lots of variants to choose from, etc), Figma has made the right side panel completely unusable without a simple resizer.

I get it that it’s nice and tight on a small laptop, but we do most of our professional work on LARGE screens. I use a 33in, a 28in, and a 13in screen, with hard core work on my 33in screen. Tons of pixels that I can’t use to simply resize the right hand sidebar!

Why?! Please explain why this is still an issue?

🙏 Pretty please! Auto-layout and component architecture is making nesting more and more extreme. My artboard area is becoming smaller because I need to see the full names of my layers.

I would also like to suggest the same with the left sidebar on the hompage. The teams names and favorites are also truncated.

I agree with the comment above that autolayout has compounded this issue. Please provide a horizontal scroll on the layers panel.

This topic is now a year old. It can’t be that difficult to fix and can be a significant blocker for doing our work (not to mention, a poor user experience). Please, please @Figma_Support – we need this fixed in a maintenance release.

Voted. It’s definitely more of an issue when relying heavily on Auto Layout.
