+1 from me. The issue is super disruptive and ruins my workflow.  


+1 totally wrecked my workflow as we’re about to handover a huge piece of work which needs tidying up!


A workaround I’ve been using is to use a single object, e.g. a square, that still works with the SHIFT + Arrow keys and use that as a placeholder to line up groups of objects.

My co-workers do not have this issue happening to them though. So why does this issue affect some but not others?


Why doesn't it work anymore to move objects with the use of arrows?

I merged your post with this existing one. There is a currently a bug preventing the movement of multiple selected objects using the arrow keys.

@Jo Anne Gail Van Sant - Thanks for the update! It is working again for me too.


Anyone else having this issue again? Seems like it reappears yearly… 🤔

This appears to have reverted back. I can’t move multiple objects using arrow keys.  It keeps just scrolling the canvas.  One object can be moved using arrow keys but when multiple objects are selected, you cannot


Hi, I’m also seeing this issue. 😭

I’ve tested on Miro app for Mac, Safari for Mac and Miro app for iPad and the issue is the same on all platforms.

I am experiencing the same unexpected behaviour in Windows 11 in the desktop app, Chrome, Firefox, and Edge.

I reported it to the support team and will update this post as I hear back.


Такая же проблема. Кто знает как исправить? Возможно что это произошло после обновления 11винды?


Can also +1 this, using Google Chrome on Windows 11 (version: 130.0.6723.92 (Official Build) (64-bit)).

If it helps, it wasn’t happening yesterday (November 4, GMT)

Having the same issue! Please help us with this - thanks 🙏🏼


Confirming that I have the same issue with the mac desktop app today. I can select individual items and move them with my keyboard arrows, but on selecting multiple items (or grouped items), the arrows do nothing.


Same issue since a few days, Opera/Chrome app on Win10 😓

+1 - same issue here. I’m using the desktop app with Mac. Let’s get this fixed Miro please!


I’m having the same issue. I’m suing a Mac and Chrome Version 130.0.6723.117 (Official Build) (x86_64)


Same problem! It's driving me nuts!

Single object selection will move with arrow keys. Multiple selected object moves the whole canvas view. Shift+Arrow keys for larger movement is also experiencing the same issue.
