Hey all,

I’m suddenly unable to edit any text layers in Figma, across all files, pages, and even brand new files—affecting both my main and secondary accounts.

What’s happening:

  • Double-click and “Enter” don’t let me edit text—not in place, not in the side panel.

  • Typography controls (font, size, etc.) are greyed out for every text layer I select.

  • I can move/resize elements, change color, and create new shapes just fine.

  • This started suddenly, across both Figma browser and desktop app.

What I’ve already tried:

  • Checked layer is NOT locked, not a component, and not a nested/grouped selection.

  • Checked on different pages, old files, new files—issue persists everywhere.

  • Created a totally new Figma file—still can’t edit any text, not even “Inter” font.

  • Swapped between browser (Chrome/Incognito) and the desktop app.

  • Logged out/in, refreshed, cleared cache/cookies, no effect.

  • No issues with account permissions (“can edit” everywhere), and not a FigJam file.

  • No overlays, masks, or hidden layers blocking interaction.

This is literally blocking our workflow and is reproducible on multiple networks on my device. Seems like a recent Figma bug or server regression?

Can anyone else confirm/replicate, or offer a workaround?
Any response from the Figma team on a fix?

Thanks,
Djah Andrews

Ok i solved it. 

it had to do with font loading. i was just using just inter. but after restarting my computer it fixed it. 


Hey Djahlor,
