Hello Figma Forum,
Our team has been encountering an issue with inconsistent spacing while working on designs using Auto Layout recently. Despite setting the same spacing, it appears differently on devices belonging to different team members. While the spacing looks normal on my computer, it inconsistently either narrows or widens on other team members’ devices. Although double-clicking often rectifies this, it could lead to misunderstandings for those encountering it for the first time.
Could you please share insights into the cause and possible solutions for this problem? Specifically, we’re interested to know if similar cases have been reported and what might be causing it.
Thank you.
Hi there,
Thanks for reaching out.
It does sound odd! Could you share the spacing information like the example below? You can check it by selecting an object and hovering while holding the Alt key.
If the spacing numbers differ across devices, there might be an issue. Please file a bug report. However, if the numbers are consistent across devices but it looks differently, it could just be a display problem. In that case, please follow the supported environment.
If the issue persists, you can try these troubleshooting steps:
- Browser : Force-quit and open Figma in a new browser window.
- Desktop App: Force-quit the Figma Desktop app and restart it. If the issue persists, try clearing the cache.
None of the above works, please reach out directly to the support team with a copy of your file: https://help.figma.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?
Please make sure you use the email associated with your Figma account, include links to the file in question, and share access with support-share@figma.com. Don’t worry, inviting us to view your file won’t impact your billing.
Thanks!
Toku
