The text tool, instead of working how it normally does, suddenly stopped working. The already types texts all somehow became locked, I couldn’t do anything but delete them. On clicking them, a small box with ‘A?’ written on it was visible, I’m not sure what that was supposed to mean.
After deleting them, I’ve been trying to type something else, but nothing shows except these blue dotted line. Does anyone know why this is happening?
Hello,
The issue you’ve described, where typed texts become locked and are replaced with a ‘A?’ symbol, suggests there may be a problem with the font file or the text rendering process in the software.
Here’s what you can try to resolve this:
- Restart the design application to see if this resolves the issue.
- Check if the font you’re using is still available and properly installed on your system.
- If the problem persists, try using a different font to see if the issue is specific to one particular font.
- Ensure that your design software is updated to the latest version, as this might be a bug that has been fixed in a newer release.
The blue dotted lines indicate where text would normally appear, so if you’re not seeing any text, it could also be an issue with the text color being set to transparent or matching the background.
If none of these solutions work, I would recommend reaching out to the Figma’s customer support for further assistance.
Best regards, Sandeep
