[Help] UI Freezing in Specific Areas After Kernel Update When Using Flux Quantized Models

[gedo1018]

When using the normal loader to load a Flux quantized model, I got an error saying the model type was unrecognized. I suspected it was due to an outdated kernel, so I updated the kernel.

After the update, I encountered UI freezing issues. By "freezing," I mean:

The mouse cannot interact with ComfyUI at all.

Right-clicking brings up a generic browser context menu instead of ComfyUI's menu.

Left-clicking can't drag any nodes.

Strangely, the freezing doesn't affect the entire UI—only specific areas. It feels like those areas are "covered by a piece of glass."

The first time this happened, I switched back to the original (unupdated) version, and everything worked fine again. However, that version's kernel is too outdated to support Flux quantized models.

I searched online but couldn't find anyone with the same issue, so I'm asking for help here.

I'm not sure the relation of the kernel update, but others have reported issues with the part of UI being unclickable and it was due to a browser extension. Can you try disabling yours and see if it fixes it?
