Hi Figma Community!

I’ve run into a really frustrating issue and wanted to see if anyone else has experienced it.

  • I’m on macOS Tahoe (26.1 (25B78)

  • Using Safari (Version 26.1 (21622.2.11.11.9))

  • I create a new project and a single frame

  • I create a new text layer in Design mode

  • The text box appears, but I can’t click inside it

  • The right-hand panel shows text settings, but they’re all greyed out

  • I’ve tried: creating a new file, clearing cache, checking locks, not in components—nothing works

It feels like the text tool is completely stuck. I can’t even edit text in old files. 

Please help, this is driving me crazy!!

TIA :)

    I just had that happen to me as well.  I was going good all day and the desktop app crashed, after reloading it I can’t make requests; this is in the Make section.  The up arrow is not blue and hitting enter or clicking on it does nothing.  I tried other copies of projects as well as thru the browser and nothing works.  I can interact with the project while running, but there are no more asking it to do changes or questions.  Must be a hiccup in their system.

    Hi All, thank you for flagging these issues! 

    We had a service disruption last week that may have been related to ​@Shane Waters’s issue with Figma Make, but nothing issues that we were aware of with the text tool being unresponsive for ​@thisistomok. 

    Are either of you still having issues? Has refreshing your tabs or trying again over the past few days improved things? 

    Please let us know if you’re still running into issues, so we can try to help troubleshoot.
