Creating a comment in FigJam will often cause cursor to get stuck in Hand Tool mode. Especially so on click and drag to create a comment area selection.  
Only way I’ve discovered to release the state and return the cursor to Pointer / Select Tool is to click create new tab, or navigate to another tab, and click back. It’s a common mis-click and leads to significant efficiency disruption. 

Anyone else experiencing this?

I'm having the same issue. I was trying to write and move text when the above issue occurred. Here's how to fix it: Close and reopen the Figma app/web. If that doesn't work, reboot your PC. That will most likely resolve the issue. (Hand tool Bug)

I have the same issue on windows 11.

When I use Hand mode, it never change Move mode, it’s occuring very often.

So I click another app and back to figma, it solve. But it’s happening again and again
