When I’m in the Prototype dialog (see attached screenshot) and want to select a Frame to navigate to, the menu that pops up truncates the names of top-level frames. It would make my life simpler if this menu auto-sized its width so I could see the entire name of all top-level frames on the page as I use a naming system that is quite lengthy, but useful to me.
Same issue here. Long frame names get truncated here but there’s no tooltip to expose the full name. When creating multiple frames with slight variations, the name usually varies at the end. It turns into a guessing game which overlay or dropdown I need to link to. Please show a tooltip on hover so the long name is shown in full!

Describe the problem your experiencing and how your idea helps solve this
When trying to choose a specific frame to assign to an interaction, the drop down list is so narrow that most my frames names are truncated, thus I can’t see the identifying portion of my frame name to select the proper one easily.
Solution is to just make the dropdown when open as wide as the longest name, or add a hover tooltip on the truncated names. -
Add as much context as possible (screenshots, Figma files, mockups, etc.)

Flow starting points appear truncated in the following places:
- On the canvas (blue label with the little Play icon)
- In the Prototype panel in the Flows section
Not very convenient, considering no tooltip shows when you hover. Can we improve this? Thanks!

The flow names in the right side bar are truncated (shortened) when they don’t need to be. They should be truncated when they are hovered over so the action icons can show (similar to how it’s handled with layers in the left side bar), but they shouldn’t be truncated when they are not hovered over.

Agree, very annoying. Would also be nice to have the full name in a tooltip on the canvas when hovering a flow starting point there.

Thanks for responding Fabrice. This seems like it should be a fairly simple fix. Hope it get’s fixed soon! Have a good day.

On the prototype tab, where one can use On Click → Navigate to → Artboard name
That grey dropdown panel is too small and dinky. It needs to be wider to show the FULL NAME of the intended artboard. How can the designer see where to designate the interaction when they can’t even read the full list of artboard names?
The menu needs to be expanded in width so that it has better usability. It is too simple and small they way it is now. There are looong and unique artboard names out there. Widening the side menu would help us out a ton so we can fully read the length of each artboard name.

Hello community,
Im dealing with pretty much exhausting issue in Figma opt. It is strictly connected with Figma UI. If someone possibly knowing the solution please refer to it. I appreciate a lot any kind of feedback.
Refering to issue, please take a look at att. image
Upvoting every request that asks for “resizable anything” in terms of the Figma UI!
I bet the Figma product team could knock this out in their next sprint 
I would love to see a fix on the width of the property dropdowns within the component panel on the right. If the label is even somewhat lengthy, it get’s cut off (see image).
I am having this issue too- just started after I copied a page. All of a sudden the window got chopped into about a third and I can barely read the names.
I have the same width like in your screen, I don’t know, maybe is a problem that affects everyone.
This surely needs to be fixed. It is very hard to navigate to the right Frame if the names are long.
Why is it June of 2024, people have been complaining about this broken feature for 3+ years, and Figma ignores their users? Why do software companies act like this? This is so common throughout modern software companies. The design team at Figma is too busy trying to roll out all the “New AI Features!” They ignore basic usability issues that completely break their customer’s workflow.
When the only solution to this problem is to keep your object names short enough to avoid being truncated, it is not a proper solution.
I don’t run into this problem with Sketch, but this has been a major issue with my productivity in Figma.

Totally agree. Very annoying.
