Inconsistent selection behavior when dragging to select items


Mara Kosac

I'm experiencing an issue with the selection tool in Figma. When I try to click and drag to select multiple items on the canvas, it often fails to work properly. Sometimes it only selects some of the items within the selection box, and other times it doesn't select anything at all even though I'm definitely dragging over layers. And then I have to select them one by one, the only way it works.

Hi ​@Mara Kosac , thanks for flagging this, and I’m sorry for the trouble you’ve been experiencing.

Our engineering team has rolled out a fix. When you have a moment, could you please try restarting or refreshing Figma to see if everything’s working as expected now? Thank you!
