Cursor bug when trying to resize box?

Hi there! After the latest update, I can’t resize autolayouts and boxes anymore (see video).

The resize handle doesn’t become available - I can sometimes get the handle it if I am very very slow and patient. In the video I end up moving the box, not resizing it.

Pretty basic thing to be able to resize stuff! And pretty devastating! (I also still have occasional problems with zooming in with my MacBook Pro trackpad).

Has someone found a way to fix this? Is there a better way to report this bug?

Specs:
macOS Monterey 12.4
Figma Desktop App version 116.0.5

    Thanks for the context, @Marcelo_Scharlau_Coelho!

    So far, @BW1’s suggested solution above was the only way we could reproduce this issue. For us, this primarily occurs when you’re running other software in the background while trying to use Figma.

    Are you running any other software when this occurs? If so, can you close all other software and let us know if that helps?

    I have the same issue! Just trying to ignore it, but it’s very annoying.

      I just got the same problem here! Was in the middle of the project and now my cursor wont resize anything. When I click around everything works fine, just can’t resize. Anyone ever find a solution?

                Having the same problems still. Force quit, restart. Neither worked.

                Mac OS Ventura 13.2.1 (22D68)

                  I had the same issue. No cursor option would show other that the main pointer. Holding space bar wouldn’t give me the drag cursor. Hovering the side of a box wouldn’t give me the resize … etc. Problem persisted on both web and desktop Figma. Problem persisted in Powerpoint… but not Word… super weird.

                  I cant really diagnose it the issue but I will tell you what fixed it though. I was working with a dual monitor and dragging my Figma window to my other display fixed it. No idea why but hopefully this will help someone else. (I’m on Mac btw)

                    Hi, I have the same problem while using Figma in Safari. However, I downloaded Microsoft Edge and the cursor doesn’t have a problem there.
