I am unable to select texts or auto layouts within auto layout. Also i can no longer double click on texts to select within auto layouts or even edit a specific text. 

All these are happening inside just 1 file inside of a team project. I am the owner of the file and the team. I checked and i still have the owner access. 

The other person working on the file do not have the same issue as i do. Just me. I do not have this issue in other files, except this one. This issue is not even happening to other files in the same team project.

What i have tried:

  • I have switched between browsers (Used chrome and Edge) and i also tried on the APP
  • I have loggedout of all my accounts on browser and App, cleared my cache
  • I even registered a new account and gave can edit access to that account and still same issues (My other team member do not have that same issue)
  • If i copy the design into a new file, i can instantly do all this things i am talking about.

I need urgent help. I havent been able to work since Friday evening.

    Hey ​@daniel olanrewaju , Celine from Figma Community Support team here! Thanks so much for the detailed breakdown! The fact that you've isolated this to one specific file (different accounts and browsers all hit the same issue, but only in this file) is definitely unusual.

    The fact that you've narrowed this down to a single file—where different accounts and browsers all experience the same issue, but only with that specific file—is definitely helpful information.

    I checked internally and can see that your case has already been escalated to our Technical Quality team, who are best equipped to investigate issues tied to a specific file and account.

    When you have a chance, could you please reply directly to your existing support case? The team is currently waiting for your response so they can continue their investigation. For reference, your case number is  #2013358. Thanks again for your patience while they take a closer look!

    Update: Our internal team has opened a ticket with our engineering team to further investigate the issue you're experiencing. We'll make sure to keep you updated and let you know as soon as we have more information directly via your support case, thank you!
