Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, thanks for the report. I can’t repro this. Could you describe the steps in more detail or record a short video?

[charles]

I literally just reference the @ file in the chat. “Please read @global.mdcglobal.mdcglobal.mdcglobal.mdcglobal.mdcglobal.mdcglobal.mdcglobal.mdc”. Anything else I can provide to help debug?

Could it be related to my repo’s again being subdirectories off of the project root and not 1:1 with project root?
