On the canvas, the mouse arrow is always replaced by that tool, that is currently selected. But on hovering over e.g. the edge of a section, over elements with comment tool active etc., the mouse stays the same and onl shows a mouse arrow, instead or the resizing icon, or the comment icon etc.
Please make repair the mouse to change to the right tool on hovering on different contexts again. It really makes working harder, because you are not sure which tool is currently selected.
Thank you!
Hi
I understand you're seeing an issue where your mouse pointer isn't changing its shape when you hover over elements or switch to the comment tool, making it unclear which tool is active or available.
I just tested this on my end, and it seems to be working as expected for me, so I want to help figure out what's going on for you.
If you haven't tried them yet, could you give these quick fixes a shot?
Should the issue stick around after trying those steps, could you provide a few more details for us? This will help us escalate it to our team for a deeper look!
Specifically:
Also, it would be super helpful if you could share a video recording demonstrating the behavior! Please make sure to include your full Figma screen in the recording. That'll really help us understand exactly what you're seeing.
Thanks,
I also got help from figma support. I cleared the desktop app cache via help > troubleshooting > reset app and that resolved the problem.
Thanks for the quick reply!
