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

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.
what worked for me:
- select first element
- press shift and double click on the second one.
Hope this works on your side also

Same issue as viewer !! HELP 
Step 1 → Adobe buys Figma.
Step 2 → Workflow breaking bugs start to occur
Hey all thanks for reporting this. A fix has been pushed and this should now be resolved. Let us know though if you’re still running into any issues.

The same problem. The side developer can no longer measure distances between objects.
I noticed that if you move the camera without removing the cursor from the object, the distance starts to show correctly.
Please help us ！
