Question

Figma crash [January 12, 2022] when loading plugin list; right-clicking on the canvas; running Quick actions


Nicolas_Lanthemann

I can’t load/see installed plugins. When I try to manage my plugins I get a white screen then nothing happens unless I quit and reopen Figma… Similar topics on the forum did not help.

I tried updating both figma and my computer and also restarting it, nothing does the trick…

It happens both on the browser and the app. And also when I try to launch the quick action bar. I find it midly infuriating, please send help 😦

So problem is that when I press the right mouse button to get the contexts menu open. Open tab blanks out and just reload fixed it.

So what I’ve tried already:

  • Update everything
  • Tried different browsers
  • Restarting everything multiple times

Every time is the same problem and it seems that it is just tied to my account. Tried with other team members and my personal account everything works. I am encountering first time this problem and didn’t do anything new like downloading plugins or something.

Update: pressing “Main menu” results in to the same problem.

Same for some members of our team. Browser, App, OS doesn’t matter. The problem persists everywhere.

We think it might be a plugin issue, because some members with fewer plugins installed do not report issues, while power users have the previously mentioned problems. When opening the plugin overview from the profile tab, the app crashes.

UPDATE

From @Jan_Strickers comment it seems to be the plugin called Automater which is causing mine and similar users issues.

ORIGINAL

I may have found a workaround regarding a plugin issue, as @jan_stricker had mentioned, but it may not work for everyone.

This works for the Web client in chrome Version 97.0.4692.71, and this required me to uninstall the last two plugins that I had used.

I have not had any success with the Windows desktop client running on Windows 10 enterprise version 1809.

Steps to follow what I had done:

  1. Click on Figma Main menu.
  2. Navigate down to Plugins
  3. From the menu options, click Manage plugins
  4. From the dialog box, I scrolled down to remove the last two plugins that I had installed

From there you should be able to use Figma as normal.

Please like this post if anyone has found that this also worked for them, and comment if anyone is able to elaborate further on this issue.


Robertas_Omilevicius

Nope. Tried every common solution. I guess we wait for a fix 😕 very annoying. Small workaround work on chrome, when you get a grey window just reload the tab. But it’s not ideal.

When I try to use right click the complete project turns white. I’ve tried everything: figma beta desktop app, figma web app, different projects, differents teams, projects from drafts, including restart computer, reinstall apps, everything 😱. It started suddenly this morning and I don’t know why. Any help? I’m using macbook pro 15" from 2018.

Same issue here!


Gabriel_Design_System

I’m having issues when I use the right-click functionality of my trackpad or mouse. The page keeps on turning into a blank grey page. This only happens when I right-click on the canvas.

I tried both Desktop app and browser. I even restarted my macbook and cleared my cache couple of times but the problem is still there.


Gabriel_Design_System

It works now! I uninstalled all my plugins via browser. This is definitely a plugin issue, I just don’t know which one is the culprit. Hope this works for everyone!


Robertas_Omilevicius

How did you get to the plugin manager? Because as I click on it, same issue, gray screen. So yeah plugin issue.


Ozi_Ozbicerler

When I right-click on anything, the branch page completely freezes and turns into gray. I have to close and re-open.

  • This happens with all the frames.
  • This doesn’t happen with other branches in the same file.
  • Only one particular branch does this.


Mikko_Hilgert

i could access this page and deleted them one by one

Figma

Gilbert_Umeh

I am having this same issue and I have already sent a message to the support team. Now I know I am not alone. I have restarted my PC many times and I have also tried it on the web and the same issue persists.

We found (at least one) solution:

Uninstalling the Plugin “Automater”. This can be done via the Community Page, if you have installed it, just like @Mikko_Hilgert just mentioned.

Interestingly though, all of these which I have installed seem to have no impact, except Autmater:

Too bad Automater is/was my most used plugin 😦


Robertas_Omilevicius

Thanks, the issue was fixed instantly.
