Question

Double-clicking won't select

Suddenly, I can’t double-click to select anything inside of any element. This was working up until today. I am up to date on both my Figma Version and my Mac OS (Sequoia 15.6.1). Desperately need help on this, I can’t keep using the layers menu to dig down and select.

    Hey Julie, that sounds super frustrating. A quick thing to try is restarting Figma and your Mac sometimes input bugs clear up with a fresh start. If it keeps happening, check if "Enable Text Selection" is toggled in Figma’s preferences, and also try switching between the desktop app and browser to see if the issue is app-specific.

      Hey ​@Julie_Jacob - I saw that you provided an update separate from here, where you were able to resolve this after a few restarts. I’m not sure what was up, or have any explanation on what happened, but I’m glad that things are working again.

      If problems still come up, please do create a new topic. Thank you!
