After updated figma as 125.9.10, cropping image one side by holding control key (the most powerful function!) doesn’t work any more. Holding ctrl key now acts as squeezing image. and double click to move and adjust cropped image also doesn’t work anymore. what happened to figma??  or is there something that I missed? I changed image type from fit to crop already.

Hi ​@EC3357, thanks for reaching out! 

I just tested this capability, and it is working as expected on my end. Are you still having issues with cropping images while holding Ctrl? 

If so, may I ask what OS are you using? And is this happening both in the desktop app and the browser?

We need answer where is Figma for Linux and when it’s come. Stop ignoring Linux peoples!

I’m having the same issue as of today. Figma updated today. thought that might have caused it. I restarted Figma as well as my PC laptop.

Hi ​@leonard.roy, thanks for flagging! 

The original users on this topic are PC users. To ensure you are experiencing the same issue, please note that since you are using a macOS, the cropping shortcut for you would be holding down Cmd, not Ctrl.

Please confirm, and then, I will flag this to our team to investigate further.
