Unable to select an unlocked rectangle

Hi,

I have spent the last two days just to add a border around my website frame because when I used the Border plugin it opened a tiny black window saying “Border” with a X on the right and that was the only functionality the controller window had! Despite deleting and re-running?

I added 4 rectangles 5px wide around the frame. All good! Then I copied it to other tabs (other website pages)

And it worked fine until the 4th page where I can see the white 5px border but it is completely unelectable denote no padlock. I have tried every setting like ungrouping etc (in which the border elements were still not visible) and yet here they are and I can’t figure out how to delete them and try again with the previous copy and paste of the 4 elements?

When I hover over the white border line it highlights the whole frame named “Home?”

The question is why? I simply copy and pasted. I did not embed it or play around with any settings that might have cause this to become part of the the Home frame?

Also wondering why Sigma haven’t add a simple Border setting like most other design software, because I built the the website faster than the time it’s taken me to add a simple border!?

Cheers

Ps// Why, when I duplicate a frame (the whole webpage) with it’s brown border and it opens the duplicate in a new tab, are the borders white? Thanks!

Hi Nellya,
Thank you!
I tried changing those values from eg 1 to 10 but all it displayed was 1… and no change happened. I’ve had to quit this app a few times and then the strange behaviour is remedied on relaunch.

Do you know what happened here please?:

I didn’t use Border plugin, so i don’t know what’s the problem may it be, but why do you need the plugin if Figma have a stroke setting? Why not use it instead?
