Figma window becomes black on both my screens start glitching

For nearly 6 months now I can’t use Figma continuously without having to close and then reopen the app and sometimes I just can’t use it for hours… I open it and then open a project and the window will become black, completely black (the whole window). Sometimes it will come back if I move the window from screen one to screen 2 (I have one PC monitor + my second screen is a Parblo tablet). Obviously, I can only do that when the nav bar appears and I can grab the Figma window from one screen to the other. Which lately I’ve not been able to do.
I also noticed that it makes my screens bug and glitch, my mouse is showing a double/blurry pointer and the screen glitches with green a little bit. Even when Figma is close…but always after a Figma bug. Right now my main screen is actually shaking/moving on its own…

My CPU doesn’t show any alarming signs of overload and I boosted my computer recently with lots of RAM and new components… so I’m completely at loss with what’s happening and how to solve this. I could not find any other person who has solved a similar issue and found it terrible that Figma is not addressing it properly. It sucks.

It’s even quicker to bug when I am on a video call on meet for example…but it does it without being using my camera or any other program on my computer…

Anyone has had the same issue AND SOLVED IT, please?


I can reproduce the bug and it happens while using the Figma windows app.

Ok I’ve tried that it did not solve the glitch but I’m going to give it a try to see if the black screen comes back. thanks!
