Question

The scrolling icon is stuck

Hi! I have a common problem, where the scrolling icon of my mouse gets “stuck” into that setting, but its behaving just like the normal mouse cursor icon, and it’s quite annoying. Am i doing something wrong or is it a bug?

Sorry for my english, its hard to describe. Here’s the chatgpt version of it:

“When I’m working on a Figma document, sometimes the mouse pointer changes from its classic shape to its scrolling shape (the four-directional wheel), but it doesn’t behave as expected. Instead, it retains the classic pointer behavior. When I use the mouse wheel and click it, it behaves as expected, but the icon doesn’t return to its normal state afterwards.”

I’m uploading a literal screenshot

Same here. It’s annoying that the middle mouse button also initiates a drag behavior on the layer, moving it around the hierarchy. Will report this as a bug.

You can try one of this:

  • Mouse wheel click + Right mouse click

  • Ctrl + Mouse wheel click

Hi all, thank you for flagging this. The behaviour seems odd!
I can’t replicate it on my end. If you are still running into issues, would you mind sharing a quick screen recording and filling out a form here? https://help.figma.com/hc/en-us/requests/new Our team can investigate it. Thank you!

Same problem there. I tried different solution , Left + Wheel Click , Right + Wheel click , Ctrl + Wheel click but none of them worked, and the cursor visual is still locked in wheel mode… I have to close the windows and reopen it…
Do you have a solution ?

I find a solution :
hold click on mousse wheel and go outside the windows.
