Hello!
I have been using Figma in the browser for more than a year on this PC and this has never happened before. When I try to move or resize a selected element, the mouse jumps diagonally about 5 mm away, so I can't move anything anymore. It happened after 20 minutes of working on this file without any problem, but now the bug affects every component.

(I recorded a screen capture to better understand this weird interaction.)

(I may have made an error and accidentally activated an option without knowing it?)

Having the same problem that’s how I found this post in the first place, also using Firefox.

 

Edit: I checked, it seems to work just fine on Google Chrome so until this is fixed that might be a workaround, eventhough I’m not a big fan of using Chrome

Thanks !

I should have tried another browser, it seems to work on Chromium. I checked the Figma desktop version, it works too, so I'll go through this for now

Hey everyone, thanks so much for flagging this,

Really appreciate you chiming in as well, ​@Nikodemas  and ​@ElectricGala, it’s helpful to know this may be specific to Firefox.

A few things that would help us narrow this down:

  • Can you confirm which browser you’re using (is it Firefox as well, or something else)?
  • Is it happening across all files, or just one specific file?
  • Do you notice this behavior outside of Figma (e.g. other websites or apps), or only within Figma?
  • Have you tried restarting your browser 
  • Are you using any browser extensions? If so, does disabling them help?
  • What’s your current zoom level in the browser (e.g. 100%)?

It would also be really helpful if you could share the screen recording via a link (Loom, Google Drive, etc.), as I’m unable to view attachments here.

 

Thank you!

  • Firefox, recently updated 149.0 (64-bit)
  • Its happening in all files
  • I tested and tried some webgl, canvas based apps like penpot, and they work without problems
  • Restarting browser doesnt help
  • I only run adblocker on my browser
  • zoom level is 100%

Same issue here, also on firefox. It only happens when something is selected and my mouse cursor moves over the border of that selected element.

The same here. I’ve noticed this started happening after the latest Firefox update. It only occurs in Firefox; I’ve tested it in Edge and it works normally
