Not being able to copy straight from Adobe into Figma. I cannot use Figma in Safari, I have to use Firefox.
The "Prototype presentation area" is not as smooth as the remaining app.
When there's no connection working it can struggle, I have to remember to save offline files

Not as mature when it comes to importing and exporting different file types.
Figma can be glitchy at times. Fonts sometimes jump around making detail design frustrating.
Because it's primarily a web app, the desktop app is little more than a wrapper. I wish more functionality were searchable from the standard Help search (Command+Shift+/).

Scaffolding, for instance. When you create a component it is just left there, it is not move into a separate page, so you may think that you’re handling an instance but actually it’s the master component.
Another one: when you un group an auto layer, you may think that you have unpacked the element, but actually the auto layer is just transformed into a layoutless frame, which layer will cause many headaches.
A last one: it’s really confusing to understand which context triggers which helper (like auto packing button appearing only if you’re not in an auto layout).
There’s no major issue, it’s just that you have to google a lot and go through tones of trials and errors before getting it.
I guess a good exhaustive FAQ à la Stackoverflow would be great for those who start using Figma.
Components are a little bit challenging to master and effectively use
I wish there were text wrapping options. I know that is usually the domain of print design tools, but it could be very helpful for UI design as well.
