Critical typing/input bug on Windows (affecting 30+ users, unusable for teaching) Hi,

Hi,

I want to report a critical issue with typing/input in Figma and FigJam on Windows.

Problem:

  • Typing becomes extremely laggy or completely unusable
  • Characters are skipped or input behaves unpredictably
  • Sometimes typing only works correctly when holding Ctrl
  • Scroll/zoom behavior also becomes inconsistent

Important observations:

  • The issue starts after a short time of working (initially typing works fine)
  • Affects both Figma desktop app and browsers (Chrome, Edge)
  • Occurs across multiple accounts and different machines

Scope:

  • This issue affects over 30 of my students
  • It is not limited to a single setup or device
  • Makes it impossible to conduct classes

Additional detail:

  • Users on iPads do NOT experience this issue at all
  • Other applications (e.g. OneNote) work perfectly fine on the same devices
  • Resetting Windows and reinstalling Figma did NOT fix the issue

This strongly suggests a bug related to keyboard/input handling on Windows (Chromium/Electron environment).

Has anyone else experienced this?

This is currently blocking real teaching work, so any confirmation or workaround would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi, ​@Varg K! That sounds pretty frustrating for you, particularly with something as small as a single sentence.

     

    I just created a ticket for you with our Technical Quality team so they can take a look - you should get that via email shortly. Can you reply to that with any additional information you have, and also let them if you also experience this in the web browser? I added that question to your ticket for you so you’ll see it when you reply. Thanks for your patience! You should hear back soon.
