Bug or what? Developers can't inspect spacing measurement between objects

In Jan 11 our developers were able to inspect spacing between objects, using command + mouse over in macOS. (spacing between 2 texts are 16pt etc…) But Jan 12 they no longer can do it unless I give them Editor permission. Is there anyone experiencing same issue? We tried cleared the all caches of browser figma etc…

    For those who think you encounter this same issue:
    Try press alt(macos: option) while hovering/measureing between elements.

    Figma changes measurement UX, you need to press alt to see measurements.

    We have encountered the same issue today. We are unable to measure the distance between layers without the editor permission.

      This link appears to be the same issue. But even here there is no solution.

                Okay so, after a lot of trying, here are the findings, it is happening only if you are accessing free trail figma as a dev, for paid subscriptions it is working fine. The only temporary solution is to log in as an editor.
