This has been frustrating me for a while now so I thought I’d finally get around to posting!
When editing a Figma file, if I select a text element the text can jump up/down within it’s bounding box. The bounding box does not change height, it’s just how the text sits within it that changes.
So if you have two artboards with the same header + heading/text for example and select those elements on one of the artboards, the text can move up. So moving between each the text won’t align. So you need to through everything and click so it all matches.
Not ideal but everything is consistent again at least …until a few days later when the opposite happens and the text moves back down to how it was.
I thought this was down to multiple users and maybe different versions of the same font file but last night I left something, no one else has been in the file but I’m clicking stuff and the text is moving around again. So can’t be down to the font file or another user.
All the typography is setup and saved as text styles so are consistent and haven’t been edited at all.
Also in the attached example, this is a component that has not been edited so it really has no reason for the position to change? It’s almost like Figma is interpreting how the text aligns/where it’s baseline at different times?
If anyone has encountered this issue or has a way to fix I’d greatly appreciate it! 🙂
