Inconsistent direct click-selection (CTRL click) of nested Frames

Hello @Gino_Rodrigues1, Thanks for flagging this! I understand the frustration when something is not working as it did before.

As a Mac user, I have noticed that the deep select feature is working as expected. I am able to select a nested layer by holding down the ⌘ Command key while moving the mouse to focus on a nested layer and clicking.

Unfortunately, I do not have access to a Windows system to test this myself. If you haven’t tried yet, could you please attempt the following quick fixes as a first step?:

• Close any Figma tabs you’re not using
• Browser: Force-quit and open Figma in a new browser window.
• Desktop App: Force-quit the Figma Desktop app and restart it.

You can refer to Troubleshooting checklist for the other tips.

If the issue persists after the steps mentioned, could you kindly share a video recording demonstrating the problem?

We look forward to hearing from you soon. If any members of our community have additional insights on this issue, please feel free to share them here.

Thank you once again for reaching out.

Hello,

I happen to have the same problem on Mac (16", intel, 2019). When cmd+click for a deep selection, it seems not to work with frames, they are not selectable with this method.

I have tried following the troubleshooting checklist but it did not solve the problem.

Hi there, Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

I tested agin, but Deep select while holding the command key is working OK for me as detailed here: Select layers and objects

I appreciate your effort in troubleshooting the issue, and if you continue to experience the same problem, I recommend filing a bug report here. https://help.figma.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=360001744374
