I was trying to clean up a file and move some older stuff to an “archive” file. I accidentally used cmd + x and cut the frames I wanted to move. Now when I try to paste them, Figma hangs for a minute, then the frames all show up as if the paste worked, Figma is unresponsive for a moment — then I get an “Open this file in recovery mode” modal, and when I do so all the pasted content disappears.

You can see it in action here: https://monosnap.com/file/3VMxNwbMXEoFAkDcUNR2JH7t4jcmUQ

I can’t seem to get around this. I’ve tried the desktop app and multiple browsers. I’ve tried using a new file, restarting Figma, and wiggling my nose in every direction during the paste…

Any idea how I can get these frames out of my clipboard and back into Figma? Is there some way I can paste the data into another app and attempt to break it up into multiple pastes? It’s not even THAT much stuff, but I guess it’s just a teeny bit over the line for what Figma can handle.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
