Hand/move cursor won't go away

Lately I’ve noticed when I’m working, the hand cursor will get stuck; I will be trying to move an object but the hand cursor won’t go away. If I click a layer or a tool or anything in the ui, the cursor behaves normally again. It’s weird and seems like a bug. Figma 96.4 on MacOS 11.2.3

Same here and nothing helps, only closing file and reopening it again, which can take a while when I have big file… Luckily Figma is awesome and that this little bug (and pasting bug) can’t compare to all benefits, starting with the community 🙂

I’m also experiencing the same issue. Mac OS - Monterey V12.2, Chip Apple M1 Max. It’s really irritating I thought it was the bluetooth keyboard sticking at first.

I can echo the above problem more than 100%.

This is still unresolved in February 25th 2022. We need to keep this thread active.

This spacebar handle crash ~ actually once bricked my entire design system file and forced me to restore to previous iteration.

This is how I fix it:

  1. Move the cursor out of the work area (ie. design panel)
  2. Click on the mouse wheel, hold it and move the cursor back to the work area

OMG IT WORKED! THANK YOU! This has been such a plague for me. Having to refresh the browser at 10x a day getting annoying very fast.

What worked for me is realizing i was logged out, and logging back enabled the other cursor… not my proudest moment, but I guess my log-in expired at some point

TIL I can move the selection box with spacebar for whatever reason.
