Related: Have you thought of ideas for how to indicate when a change to a property _doesn’t_ cause immediate visual effects? For instance, changing letter spacing when you only have one line, or horizontal alignment when the line(s) happens to be perfectly snug in the text box.

I have some thoughts. This is related in my head to explaining why disabled UI elements are disabled. (Which GUIs don’t do a good job at.)

Interesting. How are you thinking that the (un)availability of an action (eg disabled checkbox) relates to an action which effect is not immediately apparent? I think that in the latter case it’s important to receive some feedback re what the effect is.

There could be an overlap, for example a popover when you hover over something disabled/ineffectual. I meant more that they both could/should be considered as a system?

I think for line height, you could imagine drawing a baseline as if there was a second line filled with spaces.

But only when you hover over the line height UI or for some time after making a change.

Fortunately, Figma already has a concept of guides in the UI, so it might not even feel out of place. :·)
