Cannot edit objects after last update

Ask the community
1

After latest update I’m experiencing intermittent bugs:

  • Often shapes cannot be edited. Pressing enter does nothing, button to edit object is not available. This happens when editing master components in file that I own, so it should be editable and was editable before update.
  • When shape is not bugged and can be edited, pressing enter sometimes does not show points. Sometimes it works as expected - usually on first attempt to edit it is bugged, on second it works.

Anyone experiencing same bugs?

Hey @Vjacheslav_Trushkin, thank you for reaching out! That sounds frustrating, happy to help!

A few things that might help narrow it down:

  • Does this happen in both the desktop app and the browser, or just one?

  • Have you tried clearing your cache to see if that makes any difference?
    -For the desktop app: Clear Desktop Cache
    -For browsers, here are guides for each:
    Google Chrome
    Safari
    Mozilla Firefox
    Microsoft Edge

  • Do you notice the issue in specific files, or is it happening across all your projects?

  • If possible, could you test Figma on another device or network to see if the problem persists?

  • Have there been any recent updates to your operating system that might coincide with this?

Also, please double-check that you’re running the latest version of Figma in both the desktop app and your browser, as updates sometimes resolve these kinds of glitches.

Let me know how it goes!

Thanks for response!

I’m using Figma app on MacOS. It is up to date and issue started happening after it was updated yesterday (haven’t used it for few days, so not sure when actual update was released, but it is latest version).

Issue is intermittent. It happens sometimes, but not all the time.

First issue happened twice so far. Both times restarting Figma app solved it.

Second issue happens randomly. Not all the time, but quite a lot. I zoom in on a shape, press enter to edit it, I see no points. Press escape to cancel editing, move viewport a bit (pressing space + dragging view with mouse), select shape again, press enter again and it works correctly. If it helps to figure out what could be wrong, all shapes I’m editing are using only stroke, no fill. All are components, all use variables for stroke color.

Hey @Vjacheslav_Trushkin, thank you for the detailed explanation, it really helps to understand what’s going on.

  1. Can you confirm if you tried to clear the cache for the desktop app? This can sometimes resolve unusual behavior.

  2. If the issue persists, would it be possible to share a screen recording of what you’re experiencing? This will allow us to dig deeper and consult with our internal teams if needed.

If the problem continues, please reach out to our support team via this link and consider downloading and sharing your Figma desktop app debug logs with them. This will give the team valuable insights into what might be causing the issue.

Please let me know if there’s anything else I can assist with.
