Bug - Right click "layers menu" not working


Lior_Mazza1

Spotted a bug >>

When the Right click and drag to pan option is enabled, the Right click + CMD (on mac keyboard) “Layers menu” doesn’t open when the cursor is hovering over a layer.

(Figma menu > Preferences > Right-click and drag to pan)

Turning this feature off brings back this ability, although they seem to be able to work together since there is a difference between a drag and a click

Hey @Lior_Mazza1, thanks for flagging this and apologies for the delayed reply!

Are you still seeing this issue on your end?

Right-click and drag to pan seems to be working as expected on my end.

The problem persists on my end (currently using UI3).
I will emphasis that this issue occurs when the “Right click and drag to pan” option is toggled as active.

LMK if a video of my screen will help

Thanks for following up!

What macOS are you using? Is this happening in both the browser and desktop app?

And yes - a screen recording would definitely help, since it still seems to be working as expected on our end.

Thank you for checking in about this issue.
Im am using “14.6.1 (23G93)” on a MacBook Pro 13-inch, M1, 2020.
Also using the latest UI3 Figma (Figma Desktop App version 124.3.1)

As you can see in the video i positioned two layers stacked one above the other.
While holding the CMD key and pressing the mouse right click, the “layers” menu shows up.
But when Im enabling the ״Right click and drag to pan" option, preforming the same action does not show this menu any more.

Thank you and have a pleasant day!

Meanwhile you can turn off the right click drag to pan and use this middle mouse button instead, if your mouse has it.

Is there any news on this? I’m also experiencing this issue and while middle-mouse to drag works, right-click to drag feels way more ergonomic.
