FIX LAUNCHED: Issues renaming/highlighting text in the layers panel

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.

    Yep, seeing the same issue on MacOS 14.5 and Figma 124.3.1

    After the latest update, 124.3.1, when I’m editing component names, mouse clicking or trackpad clicking to get the cursor fails, even after restarting Figma, and after a fresh restart of the machine (MacBook Pro 2019 2.6GHz 6-Core Intel Core i7, Mac OS Sonoma 14.6.1).

    So, to the get cursor I have to use the arrow keys, instead of being able to point and click.

    Previously mouse/trackpad clicking worked as per the usual on the same machine.

    Is anyone else experiencing the same?

    If so, is there an immediate fix, or will Figma have to fix in the next rollout?

    When first clicked into the name.

    I would post a bug report.

    (https://help.figma.com/hc/en-us/articles/360041468234-Submit-a-bug-report)

    There are many people asking the community about the same issue. But none reporting it as a bug.

    I too am having an awful tijme selecting and managing layer naming now.

        What a response time. Just about rivals F1 pit stops.

        Thank you Figma Team.

          Encountered a similar bug today (Desktop app, macOS) but it appears to only be impacting layer names when it’s been pinned as a sticky header due to scrolling. Note the separator under the layer name.
