Cursor bug when trying to resize box?

  • July 4, 2022

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?

    Guys! Save and quit everything! Restart your mac and it will be back to normal.

      hear that you’re experiencing a cursor bug when trying to resize a box. Can you provide me with more information about the problem you are facing?

      For instance, what type of box are you trying to resize, and in what program or application are you encountering the cursor bug? Additionally, can you describe the specific behavior of the cursor when the bug occurs?

      With this information, I may be able to help you troubleshoot and resolve the issue.

      The problem is still there a year later.
      Cursor just doesn’t change from default pointer, or does it at an offset location.

      One thing that sometimes helps is to close all apps (including Figma) and reopen. Then it works for some time.

      Also, when this happens cursors over windows also start to behave funky (it’s hard to grab window edges and the cursors dont change).

      I would blame any other program, but this ALWAYS happens when Figma is running.

      This happens to me too… 🥲
      Not a big problem when I just resize a box(bc I know where I should click and drag), but when it goes to rotate a box… 😇

        Close all Adobe software, then it would be fixed.
        Idiot Adobe!

            Having the same issue in both Figma and Adobe products, so can confirm it’s not Figma-specific. How many of you also have Adobe products? Because I’m willing to bet that’s the problem. They’ve been nothing but glitches since the latest versions and I’m running on an M2 mac.
