Can’t edit the text layer while double clicking the text layer, or any kind of text

I’m having the same issue, please advice on how to resolve this

Me to…any help out there?

Hey Indu! Here are some troubleshooting steps:

1. Layer Opacity: Ensure that the opacity of the text layer isn’t set to 0%. If it is, you won’t be able to see the text even if you’re in edit mode.
2. Layer Visibility: Make sure the eye icon next to the text layer in the layers panel is not crossed out. If it is, the layer is hidden, and you might not be able to edit it.
3. Nested Frames: The text layer might be inside multiple nested frames or groups. Sometimes, if there’s another layer or object on top of the text layer, it can prevent you from selecting the text layer. Try to isolate the text layer by moving other layers or objects out of the way.
4. Masking: Check if the text layer is being used as a mask or is inside a mask group. If so, you might face difficulties editing it directly.
5. Component Instances: If the text layer is part of a component instance, you might not be able to edit it directly. Instead, you’ll need to go to the main component (the master) to make changes.
6. Plugins: Some plugins can interfere with Figma’s default behavior. If you have any plugins installed, try disabling them one by one to see if one of them is causing the issue.
7. Browser or Desktop App: If you’re using Figma in a web browser, try switching to the Figma desktop app, or vice versa. Sometimes, browser extensions or issues can interfere with Figma’s functionality.
8. Update Figma
9. Restart

It will help if any of you can share the link to a design file where this problem occurs.

This is happening to me too. Very frustrating. The only workaround is selecting the text tool then editing the text. Double-clicking would be great though.

I just updated to Sonoma 14.0 and noticing this issue as well. Except it’s impacting all components, not just text

I just updated to Sonoma , also happens this ,i think Figma has problem with Sonoma

I have the same issue. Did you find a solution @Sarah_Shuda ?

I’m on Ventura yet - so I’m not sure it’s the OS. I did not find a solution yet no. Please let me know if any of you do!

I found a solution. My problem was my Logitech Lift Mouse. I changed the speed of the double-clicking option to a slower setting and now I can magically edit text boxes in Figma. Could be worth looking at your mouse seeings with this issue?
