I have an odd quirk happening in just one Figma file. I’m using Figma in the browser as I need to share work with US based collaborators and I’m based in the UK.

 

Every time I click on an object using a regular left click, I get a tiny “Paste” command in a  box next to the cursor. When I click again to get rid of it and release the click, I get a blue selection box which won’t go away until I click again.

 

I’ve no idea how to stop this after checking Prefs etc and Googling the issue. Figma is working fine and doesn’t do this in other files in tabs in the same browser.

 

Sorry, I tried to edit the title to correct the mistakes but I wasn’t allowed to.

 

Any help appreciated, thanks.

Same here, starting to loose my mind 😭

I’m using the browser version on Firefox 

 

Edit (solution): I noticed that the issue didn’t appear in a fresh file. To continue working in peace I copied all the screens from my problematic file and pasted them in a fresh one.

For whatever reason doing the copy / paste action resolved the issue, the paste command no longer appears in the problematic file.

Thanks Vatraas – I gave up in the end and just continued working in the app!
