Spacebar panning glitch in Figma

Same problem. 
FYI: whenever I click outside of Figma (anywhere) and focus back on the app, it comes back to normal.
But the issue always comes back eventually. 

The same happens on Windows 11 in the desktop app.

• No

• No, not in Figma.

• No

• A wired mouse and a wired keyboard

Switching to another app temporarily fixes the issue.

Hey everyone, thank you all for continuing to share details. 

I want to be transparent, the team is still actively investigating the spacebar panning issue across the different setups you’ve mentioned (including Windows 11 and the desktop app). 

I truly appreciate your patience while this is being looked into. I’m keeping a close eye on this thread and will share updates here as soon as I hear back from the team.

Hey everyone, apologies for the delayed response! 

The team has identified the issue and rolled out a fix. Could you please restart the desktop app and check if the problem still occurs? If you’re still seeing this issue after restarting, let me know and I’ll report it back to the team.

Thank you for your help! 

The problem still exists after the update 😞

Same here, issue still persists. When pressing the space bar to move around, it just starts moving randomly (down usually).

I don't know if this is related to any changes on the developers' side, but the issue disappeared when I switched from a wired Logitech B110 mouse to a wireless Logitech Signature M650L about 10 days ago. However, after the latest update, the custom commands assigned to the extra side buttons on the mouse stopped working in Figma, and a few days ago the spacebar panning glitch came back.

Yes, the issue resets temporarily when you switch from Figma to another application and back, but this can hardly be called normal or a comfortable working experience.

Hey everyone, really sorry you’re still running into this and that the previous fix didn’t resolve things! 

Thanks a lot for sharing these details as well. I’ve flagged this again with the team so they can take a closer look based on what you’re seeing here. The team is actively working on this and doing their best to get it resolved for everyone.

I’ll share an update here as soon as I hear back.

Appreciate your patience in the meantime! 

Just to add to what Alexander mentioned — this might help — I’m also using a Logitech mouse (wireless MX Master 2S).

1. Open System Settings (or System Preferences).
2. Go to Accessibility > Keyboard.
3. Turn OFF the toggle for Full Keyboard Access.
