Letters with an accent, deletes the prev letter

Eek! Every time I type a letter with an accent (for example: Alt+130 =é) in my Figma file, it deletes the previously typed letter. The word “différent” comes out as “diférent” leaving my French document full of spelling mistakes due to the deleted letters.

It wasn’t doing that before so I’m guessing it’s a new bug.

Has anyone had this same experience and do you have a fix for it? Thanks!

I’m having the same issue. I’ll comment to know if anyone comes with a solution.

I’m having the same problem… today is: 21-Nov-2024 and this issue still there… come on Figma engineer and developer; you can do better… what is going on!!..

Hey All, sorry for the delayed reply and lack of acknowledgement!

The forum is primarily run by the community, so in the future, it’s always best to file bug reports directly to support: https://help.figma.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

That said, I’ve filed a bug report with the team. They will investigate, and we will provide an update as soon as we hear back.

So what is the answer? My hémidécérébellé hurts from taking so long to write that word.

Hey @Arif_Lalani, sorry for the frustration!

The team is still working on reproducing the bug and developing the fix, which is why we haven’t been able to share an update yet. We don’t have an exact timeline to provide, but we will update as soon as we hear more from the team.
