Question

Can't move or adjust Figma Elements - frozen in place

Hi. Something has gone with my Figma design, as suddenly the elements appear to just be locked in place. When I select them, it is fine. But when I attempt to drag or resize them it does not work. Any help is appreciated.

Hey ​@Brad Wedd, thanks for flagging this!

Let’s see if we can narrow down what’s going on. To help me understand this better, could you share a bit more detail?

  • Is this happening in the desktop app, in your browser, or both?
  • Does it occur in one specific file, or across all of your files?
  • Are you seeing any error messages when you try to move or resize elements?
  • Have you already tried restarting Figma or refreshing the page?

If you’re able to share a screenshot or a short screen recording of what you’re seeing, that would be really helpful and can speed things up. Thank you for your help!
