Toggle layer visibility bug?

I’m experiencing a very strange and specific bug with the Layers panel visibility toggle.

 

What happens

  1. I click the eye icon on any layer to hide it, this works normally.
  2. After that single click, if I simply hover the mouse over other layer names (not on their eye icons), those layers also turn off one by one.
  3. The only way to stop it is to click anywhere on the screen.
  4. It feels like the “click and drag to multi-toggle visibility” feature is getting stuck in the “button still held down” state after a normal click.

It happens in every file (not file-specific).

A friend checked on his machine and does not have this issue, so it appears to be local to my setup.

 

When it started

I was working normally. I left the computer running for about 2 hours (no updates, no crashes, nothing unusual). When I returned, the bug was there and has stayed ever since.

 

What I’ve already tried

  • Restarted the PC
  • Cleared Figma cache
  • Tested in different browsers + Incognito
  • Unplugged my mouse, launchpad and XP-Pen tablet
  • Confirmed it’s not Windows ClickLock

Nothing has fixed it.

I recorded a short video that clearly shows the behavior.

Has anyone else run into something like this? Any ideas what could cause the Layers panel to get stuck in multi-toggle mode after a normal click?

    Hello everyone! Thank you all for your patience while our team investigated the issue. This has now been resolved - you’ll want to refresh if you are using the browser, and make sure you’re using the latest version of the desktop app (go ahead and reload your tabs if you already are). Let us know if you have any issues!

    Hi, ​@bark_river358 - thanks for your reply. That’s unfortunate that you’ve run into this issue!

     

    Have you tried reloading your file or updating the desktop app (if you’re using that)? For the fix that was rolled out, you’ll need to refresh or reload files in the web browser and update the app. If you’ve already updated the app, try reloading your tabs as well. In my own personal projects, I have a tendency to keep things open indefinitely rather than close and reopen, so for someone like me reloads and refreshes might not happen automatically as part of my normal workflow.
