Hi everyone,
I’m experiencing a severe issue with text input in Figma.

Symptoms:

  • I cannot type in new text layers (T → click does nothing)

  • I cannot edit existing text (double-click doesn’t activate the cursor)

  • I cannot select text inside a layer

  • The tool sometimes switches automatically when I try to type

  • The issue happens across all files, even brand-new ones

  • The issue happens in both my accounts

  • Keyboard works perfectly in all other applications on my Mac

What I already tested:

  • Updated browsers and Desktop app

  • Reset Figma (Help → Troubleshooting → Reset Figma and Restart)

  • Cleared all caches

  • Disabled all extensions

  • Restarted macOS

  • Switched keyboard layouts

  • No font warnings in any file

This means:

It’s not a file issue, not an account issue, not a browser issue.
It seems like a deeper bug in the Figma client on macOS.

Could someone from the Figma team take a look or tell me how to collect logs for debugging?

Thank you in advance.
Kristina
