Text Tool not working

Hi @Karina_Elias I tested this from my end in both the browser and desktop app but was able to add a text box and text without issues. Are you see this in the browser? If you have any browser extensions enabled, try and disabling them to see if that helps. I would also suggest trying to clear your cache in the browser or desktop app.

I did to. When I type nothing shows up on the canvas but a very small blinking dot.
Nothing like what you see happening in any tutorial. Where they click and type.
Is that what is happening with you? did you find a solution?

I am not getting a text box after tapping the text icon
Instead of text box i am getting a blinking dot
What to do?

Hey there, I tested on my end and it works fine. Do you still have this issue?

Here are some actions you can take to improve performance:

• Close any Figma tabs you’re not using
• Browser: Force-quit and open Figma in a new browser window. Additionally, if you have any browser extensions enabled, try and disabling them to see if that helps.
• Desktop App: Force-quit the Figma Desktop app and restart it. If you still see the issue, try clearing app cache, https://help.figma.com/hc/en-us/articles/360040528973-My-files-are-not-opening#id.

I hope it works but if the issue isn’t solved, can you share the screen recording?

Thanks,
Toku
