I can rename a layer but I cant highlight parts of text when doing so.

Also usually when I click to a different layer, the rename is set… but now it stays editable until I press Esc

Happening across web and app.

Hey All, thanks again for your patience and understanding!

The team launched a fix for this bug. If you fully refresh Figma, things should now be working again as expected.

Same issue. It’s problematic. Windows 11. Desktop APP.

The main thing is not to open files from other accounts, this glitch is transmitted across accounts.

When I double click an item to rename, it stays highlighted. I can no longer click the mouse to the end or anywhere inside the name to edit. I can retype but then have to press ENTER to keep it. This used to work. It DOES work on the PAGES up top. The click/select mouse function works different on PAGES and LAYERS for some reason. This is a new thing. I closed out Figma and reopened but still does it. It does the same in other files.

I have the same issue right now and only started a couple of hours ago… desktop version, windows 11.

Same as OP, I used to be able to ctrl + r the layer or double the layer name and click on the name again in order to select only a part of the name, but now I can only double click and when highlighted, my cursor does nothing when I click or click and drag.

This JUST started happening to me a few hours ago and its driving me NUTS.

I used to be able to ‘CTRL + R’ a layer name then double click in order to highlight only a part of the total layer name. Now I don’t even see the ’ I ’ cursor anymore and need to use the arrow keys in order to navigate through the name with the marker.

Hi hi, I encounter an issue, I am not able to use touchpad or mouse to move cursor after clicking “Rename”, the all texts are be selected. I only can move cursor by keyboard “⬅️”“➡️”. I am not sure if it is a bug.
Does anyone have same issue? Or is there a way to fix this one? Please let me know if there is a such. All the best to everyone~

Yeah! How can that problem pop up while your working? It wasn’t an install that broke it. Such a weird one. How does it break on LAYERS only? Ugh…
