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
