Regression: text style picker search + keyboard controls

Feedback 1: since Figma Desktop App version 126.1.2 text styles picker always shows libraries of styles in collapsed state. It’s super annoying, since search doesn’t work until you un-collapse it.

Feedback 2: please fix up/down arrow behavior on styles. Example: the text span has style “Body/Emphasized” → I press arrow up expecting it to switch to “Body/Emphasized” → instead Figma selects “Headline/Regular” (the style that just happened to be below the search box). I papercut myself on this multiple times every day for the past couple of months now, at least.

Figma’s a great product, I love it, but bugs like these are a big let down for me. I believe basic features like text styles should be dogfooded more to remain best in class.

@adamsmasher @djv it seems like it got fixed today

Thank you for addressing this, it was the single biggest frustration in 9 years of using Figma

Hey @Fabio_Pizzano, thanks for chiming in here!

Since @ooolzhas reported it resolved back in May, this might be associated with the latest update. To make sure we pass the right details along, could you share:

Which version of the Figma desktop app you're on? (You can find this under Figma menu → Help → Open log files or in About Figma)
Whether this is happening across all UI Kit libraries or specific ones?
A quick screen recording if you're able, like the one shared earlier in this thread. This would be incredibly useful for the team to confirm the repro.

In the meantime, a workaround that may help: try typing your search query first, then expand the collapsed library. The results should already be filtered when you open it. Not ideal, but it can save a few clicks while the team looks into this.

Thanks again for taking the time to report this recent regression!

Hey @djv sure, here are the info:

Figma Desktop App version: 126.6.12

It happens with the pre-made UI Kits, such as iOS26, Material 3, Simple Design System, etc.

What I noticed is that when I use an empty file with only the pre-made UI Kits, the issue doesn’t happen. It starts happening when I import my libraries.

My expected behavior, as it worked in previous Figma versions, is that the menu opens on the selected color or text style, exactly as it does when a color or text style from my library is selected.

Thanks

Hi @Fabio_Pizzano, thanks for the additional context and apologies for the delay!

From what you’ve described, this seems related specifically to the use of pre-made UI Kits + personal libraries. I’ve flagged this over to our team to investigate and take a closer look. I’ll follow up here as soon as I hear back.
