Same problem =(
After the latest update, Iâm facing an issue on Figma and I was hoping that it would be fixed soon. But now itâs getting so irritating.
Problem:
When I open multiple tabs on full-screen mode If I switch to another tab it opens in new windows instead of the same windows.
@dvaliao, I hope the engineering team is taking this issue as a high priority. It is affecting many users, and the number of users affected will keep rising as they update their OS.
Having the same issue - also using an external monitor
- Sonoma 14.0
- My Figma is updated
- Problem only occurs when in full screen mode
Please guys⌠this is highly frustrating
I think this is supposed to be a new feature (so itâs now possible to have multiple windows and not just multiple tabs)? But I agree, it is too âeasyâ to open new windows, I donât seem to have control of it! Super annoying to end up with multiple windows open, especially because they are difficult to close. I find Figma slower since this has been released too.
Same issue here! Super annoying too, and I find Figma super slow since this behavior started
This keeps happening to me but in the Figma app. If I have multiple projects open, and in full-screen mode, once I click on a project it will jump to its own tab. Is anyone experiencing this?
I checked Preferences, and I do not see an option for âOpen links in desktop appâ
Every time I switch files, the file automatically separated to another window.
How can I use these files into one app? I want to use it by selecting tabs in the same window. Help me, plz. 
Guys, really, a month and a half has passed!
maybe you can fix this annoying bug already?
I recently received an update for Figma. I updated but Iâm still experiencing this issue on two different external monitors.
Any update on this? @dvaliao ?
Hey there,
I have a weird bug â when I change tabs (clicking on another tab area) in my Figma-App in full-screen it automatically opens the tab I am clicking on in a new window.
It doesnât happen when itâs minimized. And it sometimes works when I change from the community tab to a design tab. It does not work when I change from a design tab to a design tab or from a design tab to a FigJam tab.
To clarify I also donât press any keys while clicking on the tab.
It automatically happens when I am in full-screen in the app.
Does anyone have an idea on how to fix this? Itâs quite annoying.
Thank you!
Hey All, sorry for the continued frustration!
Rest-assured, our team is proactively working on solving this bug, and we hope to have a fix soon!
For now, the best workarounds are:
⢠Change which monitor is your primary. (It doesnât seem to happen if the external monitor is primary and laptop is secondary.)
⢠Change the orientation of the monitors in settings to be left and right. (It may not match physical layout and itâll be confusing, but it helps.)

I am experiencing the same issue and becoming SUPER anoying. I hope we can have a response soon.
@dvaliao Thanks for your answer. Iâm sure they are working on that. Itâs just it is too annoying!
By the way, neither of the workarounds worked, at least with my setup (MacBook Pro 2020 with Intel, running Sonoma 14.0 and a super ultrawide monitor). The tabs keep jumping, but now within the same window. The best way to avoid it is still not to use Figma on fullscreen
I have the same problem, super annoying 
So, what I figured is that this happens only once, only for a day and the issue disappears for some reason.
This problem is up and annoying since September now. Honestly I donât want to use some workarounds which would have incalculable side effects. I just want the working Figma back (!)

Me too, very annoyed with this feature/bug. I much better prefer to keep some tabs than different windows. Looking forward for the solution, would love to keep some tabs again.
Hey All, we hear you.
We know that you want a solution and not more workarounds. Through trying to find the fix over the past 6 weeks, the workarounds are what have surfaced so far, and we felt itâs better to share temporary workarounds than leave you in the dark completely with no reply, until we have a solution. But if thatâs what youâd prefer, please do let us know.
Our team has been digging into this issue more and found the general culprit which involves mouse click events, so weâre getting closer to a solution.
In the meantime, another workaround has presented itself. Instead of clicking on the tab to switch, use Control+Tab or Shift+Control+Tab to switch between the tabs when in full screen mode. We know that itâs still not ideal, but itâs what we can help with for now.
