I was using pen tool to draw a curve, somehow when I pressed “alt” trying to edit the curve through anchor handle,  it didn’t work if the anchor handle I is the last one of the vector or line. It’s really a big problem and slowing down my work. Did I accidentally change the setting or it’s a bug ?

Same here. As of last week, whenever I hold the option key while using the vector tool, it no longer grabs a single side of the handle. It’s driving me bonkers. I restarted and re-installed Figma. It has worked a couple of times as it use, but then stops. I haven’t changed anything manually. I use this ALL THE TIME for work.

Today, it has also started showing something like a bounding box, when I select more than one point at a time, and makes it difficult to then grab and move the points around (image attached).

 

I have checked my modifier keys in the OS, and verified that this also happens when using Figma on the web.
