Individual border radius not working sometimes

Really annoying inconsistency I often run into is that sometimes a path does not allow for individual border radius’. What causes this issue and how to fix it?

    You can do that: when the vector is selected, press Enter and select the corners you want to change — you can adjust them in the right panel.

    You can click “k” and resize the design, i don’t understand about your problem about that

      I was suspecting that some kind of ‘flattening’ had happened to the ‘rectangle’. But for the end-user, this shouldn’t really matter. If a shape has 4 corners, it should be able to have a radius.

      This feels like a bug or at least highly unpolished code. Is there an easy fix, other than re-drawing the shape with the rectangle tool?

      Rectangle and Vector are different objects in Figma, so they may have different properties. I don’t see any bug here, but it would be great if the object type was specified somewhere in the interface.

      If you specifically need the Rectangle object, then it can only be obtained by re-creating/undoing actions/restoring the file from the version history. You can also look for plugins in the Figma Community, if there are any.

      I agree it would be nice to adjust corners of all 4-corner shapes, not only rectangles. But alas, this is how Figma works.

        If there is no way for the user to see the difference anywhere, but it has implications on the features, that’s what I’d call a (UX) bug in my book, regardless if it was intentional or not.

        @Gleb , That would be nice indeed, even better if you could adjust the radius of any corner.

          Ah, thats great, didn’t know that! So all Figma would have to do is also show the radius anchor on those corners, and most of the confusion would be gone.

          This is often a quicker solution than redrawing the rectangle inside a complex component. Thanks a lot, I will mark this as solution.
