Where did the preset spacing values (4, 8, 16, 24...) go in Figma's Gap dropdown?

Hi everyone,

I'm using the Figma Desktop app on Windows (v126.6.12), and I've noticed something that's been bothering me.

Previously, whenever I clicked the Gap value in an Auto Layout frame, Figma would show a list of common spacing values like 4, 8, 16, 20, 24, 32, etc. It made changing spacing really quick.

Now, when I click the Gap dropdown, I only see:

  • The current value (e.g., 216)
  • Auto
  • Apply variable

The preset spacing suggestions are completely gone.

I know I can manually type values, but I really liked having the predefined list since it was much faster and I didn't have to remember or type the spacing values every time.

Has Figma removed this feature in a recent update, or is this a bug or setting on my end? Is there any way to get the old preset spacing dropdown back?

I've attached a screenshot for reference.

Thanks in advance!

Redesigned Khatabook would love feedback

Digital ledger app for small merchants in India. They use it to track customer credit, send payment reminders (WhatsApp/SMS), and manage daily transactions — often offline.
Looking for:

  • Does the hierarchy read clearly?
  • Any obvious friction in the flows?
  • Does this feel learnable for low-tech users?
