I’m hovering outside the layer to try and activate the rotation cursor, but it’s not showing. How come?

Did anyone figure out how to solve this? I see some other users in the comments had this issue a few days ago. Advice would be appreciated. 

Also a Mac user.

Same problem for me, happened some weeks ago.

I also noticed the resize cursor no longer shows. I’m still able to scale a rectangle, but the rotate cursor is a quick blip on hover and completely unusable.

Hi ​@Jenna Meyer ​@Thomas Saint-Upéry ​@Colin_Conway 

 

Sorry for the delayed response! Like my colleagues, I wasn't able to reproduce the issue on my end either.

  • Can you ensure that your operating system is up to date?
  • It's possible that an extension or program on your side is causing the problem. For more information, please check out our troubleshooting tips here.

If the issue persists, please contact our support team directly by filling out this form here.

When you do, make sure to use your Figma account email. Also, it would be helpful to include a short video, a link to the file, and share it with support-share@figma.com by inviting them directly as an editor (this won't affect your billing). This will allow them to take a closer look at the issue.

 

Thanks for your patience.
