Question

Blue selection tool attaching and grouping elements when zooming in and out

Every time i [zoom in], the blue select rectangle appears, and when i try to zoom inside of a frame it shifts the items out of the frame.  So to put it simply; it detaches elements in frames, and groups elements that are not in frames.

Hi ​@Rueth_Seamson,

 

It sounds like you're running into some weird group behavior when you zoom in.

 

I gave it a try myself, but I can't seem to make it happen here. I also checked internally, and we haven't seen any similar reports pop up.

Could you give these quick fixes a shot if you haven't already?

  • Browser: Close your current Figma browser session and open a fresh new window.
  • Desktop App: Force-quit and restart the Figma Desktop app.

If the issue continues, let's troubleshoot further:

  • Is this happening only in your browser, only in the desktop app, or both?
  • Is it in a specific file, or all your Figma files?

Also, a video recording (showing your full Figma screen) would be awesome, as I might be missing something! That'll really help us understand and figure out the best way to assist you.

 

Thanks!
