Hello!
I’ve been having this problem for a couple of days, every time I want to apply a color style or variant into a layer, nothing happens.
I click on the color I need, and nothing changes. I reload the tab, works for a few minutes, and then again…

Thanks if you have the solution!

Hi,
Same here, in the last few days I’ve had issues with text, colour, auto layout padding & radius variants intermittently not responding. On top of that I’ve noticed some prototyping issues, such as not being able to select any actions and only seeing device selection in right panel, again this intermittent.

It’s very time consuming trying to find workarounds like creating a new Figma file, create the component and then copy it back into the file I’m working on.

This really needs to be resolved asap please.

Hey @Mariela1,
Sorry to hear this is happening. What may help is to make a small adjustment to the style. Could you try the following steps to see if that changes anything?

  1. Go to the style, apply a small change to a property of the style. For example, add a character to the name or change the color slightly - just something small that’s easy for you to remember and undo afterwards.

  2. Publish the update

  3. Go to a file that’s having this issue, accept library updates. See if the issue is resolved

  4. Go back to the style and reverse whatever test change was applied.

This method of pushing a controlled update in all of the dependent files usually gets things back in a normal state moving forward.

If this doesn’t help, I’d recommend you to contact the support team with a copy of your file so we can investigate it further here: https://help.figma.com/hc/en-us/requests/new Be sure to use your Figma account email, include a link to the file, and share it with support-share@figma.com, so we can take a closer look. Thank you!
