Annotations disappear after adding them, and I can’t add new ones

Hi everyone, I’m running into an issue with annotations.

What happens:

  1. I add an annotation to a frame and press Enter.
  2. The annotation doesn’t appear on the canvas.
  3. If I zoom out a lot, the annotation briefly shows up for a few seconds, then disappears again.
  4. After that, I can’t add any new annotations. Selecting the frame (even a larger parent frame) doesn’t help; the option to add an annotation doesn’t work.

Expected: The annotation stays visible after I press Enter, and I can keep adding new annotations.

Actual: Annotations vanish shortly after being created, and adding new ones is blocked.

Environment:

  • Figma: desktop app
  • OS: macOS 
  • Plan: prof.

Has anyone found a workaround, or is this a known bug? Thanks!
