Hi community, I’m new on figma and somehow I can’t delete or move elements. I got all editor rights but still doesn’t work. Does anyone know what the problem could be?
Thanks in advance

Please show a full screen screenshot (image), not a video of a tiny part of the screen. And make sure all toolbars are enabled and visible (cmd + \).

Most likely you simply don’t have Edit access to the file.

Thank you! This seems weird. Does your keyboard work at all? Have you tried moving these objects with a cursor? Also have you tried restarting Figma/whole computer?

In this case you need to reach out to Figma support team to report a bug, this is definitely some kind of a glitch.

I am Windows user, and I have same problem like this.
(I also have mac, the problem didn’t appear on mac)
To fix it, I have to close Figma… and reopen it.

Do you resolve the problem?

when I get an error, I clicked on the name of the file, then everything is back to normal. You no need reopen file. 😂.
