Shortcuts confict on Chrome after clicking anywhere on the sidebar

EDIT 2:
on august 19, the problem still occurs

EDIT:
After updating Chrome problem seems to be resolved. Working with the browser app for few hours now and everything works fine.

Since lately (3 days now) I experience shortcuts conflict when using Figma on Chrome.

Using shortcuts like:

cmd + shift + g;
cmd + d;
cmd + shift + h

trigger Chrome actions instead of Figma actions, but only when my cursor is in the context of a sidebar, e.g. after expanding layer’s content and trying to expose a hidden layer found inside. This is HUUUGE problem since there is no other (simple) way to select a hidden layer without using the context of sidebar tree view.

I havent experienced problems of this kind before and now its ruining my productivity. Please, help!

I use Chrome and Mac Sonoma (14.4.1) on Macbook pro M1

Hi everyone! For some users, the issue has been fixed by upgrading to the newest version on Chrome.

Can you try upgrading to the newest version and check if the same issue occurs? (The newest is Version 124.0.6367.93 at the moment).
Here is an article how to Update Google Chrome - Computer - Google Chrome Help . Please let us know, thank you!

Huge problem! I think it should be fixed on the Figma’s side, not user’s.

Still broken on Chrome. 127.0.6533.100

I’ve reported what’s likely the same bug. The issue seems to require that there are enough layers for layers list to scroll scroll, which may explain it appearing to be fixed for some.

In my case it’s the same, I’ve upgraded to the latest version of Chrome, but the shortcut still opens the shortcut from Chrome.

I hope this bug is resolved soon

Hi, I am also having this issue. I have updated my Chrome version but still have the same result. I hope it is really resolved soon as it makes things a little frustrating.

Also, can I get tips on how to cope with this until it is resolved.

Hey this is still not fixed! Facing this issue on my Windows 11 laptop - latest Chrome version as of 12 Aug 24. Shortcuts conflicting with those of Chrome.

Today I updated my laptop to the macOS Sonoma 14.6.1 and Chrome to Version 127.0.6533.100. Almost immediately, I noticed I am having the same shortcut issues that folks have listed out here. I prefer to use Figma in the Chrome browser vs the desktop app, but now it’s impossible to efficiently work in Figma using Chrome.

Since this is a known reoccurring issue, please elevate this to the Dev teams to fix it.

I have this same issue. Clearing browser / cache doesn’t help.

Noticed it since the Beta layout. Switching to old layout doesn’t help.

Hey everyone, thank you for flagging this! I’ve passed this on to the teams to investigate.

It’d be helpful if you could give us any information such as sequence of actions that you are taking before noticing that these shortcuts are broken.

This is still not fixed! Running Chrome Version 127.0.6533.100 (Official Build) (64-bit) and experiencing exact same issues described above. For example, trying to duplicate and element using Ctrl + D triggers Add/Edit Page Bookmark on Chrome. Ctrl + Shift + R (paste to replace) triggers Chrome Hard Reload. Using shortcut keys is very frustrating now, as they no longer work as expected. Every time I had to either go the other window and back to work properly. It’s really frustrating.
