Text input doesn't work in FigJam

  1. Describe the bug/issue you’re running into?

Text input doesn’t seem to work. No text shows up as I type.

  1. Are you able to consistently reproduce it? If so what are the steps?

Create or edit any sort of text node.

  1. Share a screenshot, recording, console log, link to the file, etc.



Sometimes see this “Missing font replaced”:

  1. Is the issue only happening in desktop app or a specific browser , or both?

Not sure, I only use the browser version

  1. What OS/version and/or browser/version are you using?

Chrome 89 & macOS Big Sur 11.2.3

    We just shipped a change we think should solve this issue. If you leave Inter enabled in your Font Book, refresh your tab, and try creating text, does it now work?

      Hi! is there any news on this bug? We’re still experiencing it so one of my team mates is unable to type on stickers during the retrospective.

      Thanks.

      I am currently unable to type in Chrome and Mac desktop version. Started with shortcuts not working last week and now unable to enter text today. Any very quick solutions?

        Hi Figma Team,
        I’m using FigJam on a Windows 11 pc. I cannot make any text inputs at all. I have tried installing the Inter font. But it didn’t solve the issue. Any thoughts on what I can do about it?

        I think I maybe had the same issue. Closed all tutorials/quicktips appearing when opening, and then I could write 😃
