Bug or what? Developers can't inspect spacing measurement between objects


Byambasuren

In Jan 11 our developers were able to inspect spacing between objects, using command + mouse over in macOS. (spacing between 2 texts are 16pt etc…) But Jan 12 they no longer can do it unless I give them Editor permission. Is there anyone experiencing same issue? We tried cleared the all caches of browser figma etc…

For those who think you encounter this same issue:
Try press alt(macos: option) while hovering/measureing between elements.

Figma changes measurement UX, you need to press alt to see measurements.

We have encountered the same issue today. We are unable to measure the distance between layers without the editor permission.

It’s totally brokes all the work process. Urgent fix needed 😦

Okay so, after a lot of trying, here are the findings, it is happening only if you are accessing free trail figma as a dev, for paid subscriptions it is working fine. The only temporary solution is to log in as an editor.


Serban_Vatavu

what worked for me:

  1. select first element
  2. press shift and double click on the second one.
    Hope this works on your side also

Konstantin_Kudinov

Just select one elemnt, then hover on second and zooming - padding appers

Same issue as viewer !! HELP 😭

Step 1 → Adobe buys Figma.
Step 2 → Workflow breaking bugs start to occur

The same problem. The side developer can no longer measure distances between objects.


Denis_Solyankov

I noticed that if you move the camera without removing the cursor from the object, the distance starts to show correctly.
