Drag selection doesnt work in frames anymore

*Addition*

It's not possible to drag select anything within a section aswell. 

Hey ​@Hannes Hauwaert - thanks very much for the recording. Very helpful to see how this is surfacing on your end.

Is it possible for you to share edit access to the file you used in your recording? We can have our technical quality team review and see if they can replicate, or find any hidden issues going on.

If you can share, please share that edit access for support-share@figma.com, and let me know the name of file.

​@ksn has this been fixed? I am experiencing the exactly same issue.

Hiya ​@Frysing - I did some searching to see if I could locate any updates (since it’s been a while since the last convo), and I think it would be best to have you write into support for them to review your instance. Can you do the following?

1. Share edit access to the file(s) you’re seeing this on with support-share@figma.com. You won’t be charged for this, and it will only be viewed for replication purposes by our official support team.
2. Once you’ve done that, please fill out this form, and include the name of the file(s) you’ve shared.
3. Reply to me here, and I’ll get that escalated for you.

Thanks!!

I’m having a similar issue, but in my case some elements can be selected, while others can’t be, or at least can’t be until I’ve dragged my cursor across certain parts of the frame. It seems completely random, and difficult to replicate with any consistency. It even changes depending on where a given frame is on the canvas. My instance is occurring in a project I’m consulting for so I can’t publicly share the screen recordings, but I’d be happy to share anything directly with support.

Also having this exact same issue, very irritating and very random. Trying it in other files and not as prevalent. Any way to fix this without having to create a totally different file in which I am collaborating with different members and cannot transfer feedback/comments etc.?

It’s probably not even worth the effort of creating a new file. I tried creating a new file with new frames/artboards that I pasted the elements into. It fixed things at first, but as I continued to work in the file, I noticed the issue returning, and differently on each frame even if the frame’s been duplicated and then only slightly iterated on.

I am facing the same issue, super irritating. Affecting my whole speed by 10x. Please fix this issue asap

same issue here, it’s driving me crazy..

Will keep on commenting till this issue is fixed : 7 jun’25

Same issue. Maybe due to the recent update?
