Make Slices selectable with a click (again)


DesignElementsPro

Since 19 of nov. 2020 I can´t use my mouse to select a slice, only possible from the layers menu.
After making a slice with a padding around a layer, I can´t select the slice using my mouse so I can move them, only the layers inside move.
I have tried both Chrome, Firefox, and desktop, same,
I have tried to get in touch with support via mail since nov 2020, but no answer at all to any of the emails.
Am I the only one that have that problem?

A lot of people have this problem so I moved and renamed your topic so others with the same issue can vote for this to be implemented.

Regarding support, it’s weird that you are not getting any replies. Check out this link to see your tickets, maybe they are sent to spam in your email? cc @KatieLee

Hi

Thanks for the reply:-)

Ok, so I wasn´t the only one, good to know:-)

Yes it suddenly stopped working the 19 of nov last year, I think it happened at the same time the auto layout was implemented
Yes strange if you have sent emails, nothing in spam either, and no answers when I check the tickets like this one:#310594

Thanks and have a nice day

  • 1 this is a stupid bug that needs fixing - it makes cutting and pasting slices a right pain. Asset export is a key feature of the production side of design. This feature voting system is also broken nobody know these requests are sitting here unvoted for.

Nothing has changed, hasn’t it? I still cannot select slices either in chrome or in the desktop app and worse when it drops somewhere down in the many layers and you cannot find it or select it 😕

Hey Figma Team,

Is it possible for you to update this bug ASAP? This is a very unnecessary hick-up in the workflow that i’m sure you guys can address. Please don’t delay this. Thanks

1+ years I’ve been waiting it’s so dumb a bug. I have a sheet with 200 slices good luck finding them by name.


Voting for this feature because it’s probably killing your Slices feature. Slices are basically useless if you can’t easily move and resize them.


This is one of my biggest pain points in day to day workflow. Please fix it!


+1’ing this. Why not show the slice in the list when you use command right click? It sure would make it a lot easier to do something as simple as moving a slice over by a few pixels.
