I believe there is a serious bug in the Variable Table of Figma.

Recently, I've been experiencing strange issues where tokens I never created are suddenly showing up all over my design system. For example, tokens like background-2, background-3, background-4, and background-5 appear out of nowhere. Additionally, when I rename a token — such as changing text-error to just error — it sometimes reverts back to text-error on its own, or even turns into something like error-2. These are not actions I performed. It honestly feels like a ghost is tampering with my work.

This is extremely concerning. I'm working on a large-scale design system, and issues like this are not just annoying — they're critical. They undermine trust in the system and the consistency we depend on.

Since last week, I’ve noticed this happening repeatedly during token work. Just to be sure, I created a brand-new file today and manually set up primitive values and tokens again — but after a while, the same ghost-like changes started happening there too.

Please look into this issue and fix it as soon as possible. It’s genuinely serious and disruptive.

Thank you.
