Does this stop you from using Cursor

Yes - Cursor is unusable

Hi @eugen ,

This is a known issue with the inline Markdown preview. The preview currently caps the content width at 800px and centers it with symmetric gutters, creating unused space on the left. Content wider than that limit overflows to the right with no horizontal scrollbar, so it gets clipped.

A fix for table layout and horizontal scrolling in the Markdown preview was recently shipped and should be available in an upcoming update!

I would suggest “uncap” button. Sometimes it is easier to read when document is wide.
