Page Name Editor does not register spaces when holding down shift

Currently, I am working on naming a ton of pages in a single file. I have noticed, if I hold down shift when hitting the spacebar, the text indicator does not move. It may register the spaces if i use the arrow keys, but the placement of where i am typing does not move. This is very frustrating as every other app on my Mac adds spaces like normal here.

Hi ​@Gwendolyn Leister, Celyn from Figma Community Support here.

Thanks so much for flagging this and for sharing the screen recording — that’s really helpful in seeing what’s going on.

From what you’ve described, it sounds like when you hold Shift and press the spacebar while renaming pages, the text indicator doesn’t move, even though the spaces may still be getting inserted.

To help us narrow this down a bit:

  • Are you seeing this only when renaming pages, or also in other text fields?
  • Are you using the desktop app or browser (and if browser, which one)?

In the meantime, a couple of quick things you can try:

  • Restart the app or refresh the browser
  • Try switching between the desktop app and browser to see if the behavior differs

I’ve shared this with the team along with your screen recording so they can take a closer look.

Really appreciate you taking the time to report this, I’ll follow up here as soon as I have any updates.

Hi ​@Celyn_L! This is correct! I am only seeing this when renaming pages, text fields within my Design file aren’t replicating the issue. I am in the desktop app version of Figma, but have not played around with the browser version. Thanks for taking a look and sharing this out!!
