Arrow key press moves item diagonally, not to the side

Hi ​@MOCU,

I understand you're seeing unexpected behavior when using the arrow keys — instead of moving the item straight, it begins to shift diagonally after a few pixels.

I just tested this on my end in both Figma Design and FigJam, but couldn’t reproduce the issue — the arrow keys worked as expected.

Let’s troubleshoot this further together.

First, please close any Figma tabs you’re not using, and then try the following:

• Browser: Force-quit and open Figma in a new browser window.
• Desktop App: Force-quit the Figma Desktop app and restart it.

If the issue still occurs, could you help confirm the following?

• Does this happen in one browser, across multiple browsers, only in the desktop app — or all of the above?

• Is it happening in just one specific file, or across multiple files?

• Which Figma product are you using when this happens? (e.g., Figma Design)

If the issue persists and you're open to submitting a bug report, this will help our team investigate further and more effectively. You can follow the steps in this guide: Submit a bug report

Thanks!
