BUG (FIX LAUNCHED): Deleting layers directly on panel doesn't work

I also can’t copy/paste, or delete from the layers panel for the last two days using Chrome. This is disrupting my workflow hardcore and working in Safari is not ideal for the long run. Is there still no solid solve for this issue?

Still cannot delete or using backspace from mac using latest chrome update.
Please help to fix it

Thank you @ksn !!!
After using it for some time, the problem appeared, I also can’t copy/paste, or delete from the layers panel. So now I use the app.

Thanks for looking into this @ksn, it really disrupts the workflow.

It seems that indeed the VPN is to blame.

I could not test on the same computer, as my company prevents access to internet outside VPN, but I have tested it on the same account and same internet connection.

On my personal computer it was indeed working fine without VPN.

Also on my work computer , using VPN, it works on the first frame I select. However, after switching to another frame, it stops working anywhere.

So I can delete the layer on the first frame I use (any frame), and then once I use another frame I cannot use it there, or back at the first frame.

Also its not just delete, but any keystrokes on ay layer selected in layers panel.

If the layer was selected directly in the viewing pane, it works just fine.

But its often difficult to select the right layer there. 🙂

I noticed this problem since today as well.

My system:

• Ubuntu 22
• Chrome 127 (latest)
• Figma in browser

I can’t perform any shortcuts anymore when a layer was selected through the layers panel. No delete using backspace, also no copy-pasting shortcuts.

When performing these actions on a layer I selected though the artboard, it just works.

Also, switching to Firefox the layer panel in combination with shortcuts just works.

Thanks for the info – I’m going to add this detail as something that could be a factor on the ticket that is open!

For anyone else - can you please confirm if you are on a VPN, and if so, does turning it off seem to help?

Quick update:

Our engineering team thinks this is related to another issue we have involving Chrome shortcuts. Still looking into it, but making progress! Will update again when I can.

Hello all! I’m letting you know that our engineering team pushed out an update that should have fixed this. Can you please let me know if you still have trouble with the layers panel?

Please make sure to quit and restart Chrome first to make sure you have the latest updates set.

It’s working! I had this problem for over a year! It’s finally working. Thanks team 🙏

Mine is working now but encountering a different problem in both app and website. I cannot seem to rename layers properly by dragging my mouse to change a word or letter it won’t highlight select the word i’m trying to select.
