1.6: Blinking input box/Dimmed chat window obnoxious

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

Can you guys hire a UX designer please? You come back to a tab, or work with a fast model, and it outputs 2 screenfuls of text and a command to run. What happens? You dim the text, make it difficult to read, then blink the stupid input field.

This is insanity, can you please turn off or at least make it possible to disable these over the top behaviors. It’s not a video game its a professional tool.

Steps to Reproduce

Ask a question with a long response that ends with a command. Be annoyed. There’s a reason the tag hasn’t been used for decades.

Operating System

MacOS

Does this stop you from using Cursor
