Fixing Typography Controls Freeze

When editing typography settings in Elementor, you may encounter a bug where the size controls freeze or become unresponsive after clicking the edit icon (pencil). This is a known Elementor core issue that occurs when fluid sizing (CSS clamp function) is used.

How to Fix

Follow these simple steps to unlock the frozen controls:

  1. Click the "Back to Default" arrow icon (↶) next to the frozen control
  2. Click away from the widget to unfocus the panel
  3. Click back on the widget to reopen the panel
  4. Typography controls now work correctly

Why Does This Happen?

Elementor's control panel UI has a compatibility issue with the CSS clamp() function used for fluid typography. The clamp values confuse Elementor's JavaScript, causing the controls to freeze.

This is an Elementor core issue, not a theme issue. The bug exists in Elementor itself and affects any theme using fluid typography with clamp().
