After the new updates in Figma, I cannot select an element within other frames or components by clicking and multiple clicking on it. Another problem is that I cannot edit a text by multiple clicking on it to select the whole text.
I test it on both application and web app (using chrome browser)
Is it just my problem or other experience it as well?
Hi
I completely understand how this must be disrupting your workflow. We have seen a similar click-selection issue reported before, but a fix went out for it last April. A couple of quick questions so we can pin down what's going on:
In the meantime, as a temporary solution for the nested-selection issue, try holding Cmd (Mac) / Ctrl (Windows) while clicking. This will jump straight to the nested layer instead of needing multiple clicks. With these addition details, we can flag this over to the team to investigate.
Thank you for your support and information. I tested the issue across different files and projects.
From my observations, this problem seems to occur primarily in large pages that contain a lot of data.
I checked which files were causing issues and found that when I zoom out, I can select items by clicking, even in complex frames with many nested elements. However, when I zoom in, I'm unable to select items. Interestingly, if I copy the complex frame to a lighter file or project that contains fewer items, the selection works as expected after zooming out.
Moreover, the problem does not affect every page in the files where I experience issues; it specifically occurs on heavier pages containing numerous components and nested frames. I've recorded a video to demonstrate the problem, where my clicks are indicated by red circles.
