Up/down keyboard arrows no longer move/nudge the guide

The keyboard arrow keys were previously a helpful way to fine-tune the guide’s position. This no longer works, as pressing the arrow keys now causes the entire canvas to move up or down when the guide is selected. Is there a way to restore the previous behavior?

Hey ​@Norman Fišer, thanks for reaching out and apologies for the delayed reply! 

Are you still having issues with using the arrow keys to nudge in Figma?

I just tested this on a macOS in the desktop app and using a Chrome browser and nudging in Figma is still working as expected. Please let me know if you’re still having issues, and we can investigate this further.
