Cursor IDE
The tooltip (or bubble) that appears when hovering the mouse over the Sooze field is obscured by its own containing bubble (or an overlapping element that acts like a bubble in this context).
”Cursor Tab“
Windows 10/11

Hey, thanks for the report. We’ll look into it.
Cursor IDE
Cannot see the tooltip explaining what Snooze do.
Fix:
Current z-index for the tooltip parent of cpp-cursor-prediction-tooltip-hover-over-element-1234 is z-index: 2552
Set z-index 2577 or above allow to see the desired tooltip
Reproduce:
Click “Cursor Tab” in the down statusbar (statusbar-item-label copilot-plus-plus-status-on
Hover the small (i) next to Snooze
See the tooltip appearing behind the parent
Hovering the small (i) next to snooze should display the tooltip properly
MacOS
Version: 1.7.52
No - Cursor works, but with this issue
Cursor IDE
The tooltip near “Shooze” inside the “Cursor Tab” tooltip is not visible when hovering over it.
Hover over “Cursor Tab” button in the bottom of IDE UI
Hover over (i) icon near “Snooze” button
Result: The second tooltip is hidden behind the first one.
I expect this second tooltip to be visible. Perhaps it should be located next to the first tooltip, on the left or right side.
MacOS
Version: 2.0.77
No - Cursor works, but with this issue
Cursor IDE
As seen in the screenshot, the label for snooze in the cursor tab is currently not visibile due to the incorrect z-index. It’s small, but it’s a bug.
Click ‘Cursor Tab’ in the bottom right
Hover over the Snooze info icon
The label to be visible zo I can read it.
MacOS
Version: 2.1.46 (Universal)
No - Cursor works, but with this issue
When I hover the Cursor Tab section in status bar, and then hover the info icon next to the Snooze option, tooltip shows behind the menu.
Hover Cursor Tab in status bar → hover info icon next to snooze option.
Tooltip z-index should be higher than context menu so that whole tooltip is visible and tooltip text is readable.

I can reproduce this on a recent version as well.
From inspecting the DOM, the issue does not appear to be purely a z-index mismatch. The tooltip (cpp-cursor-prediction-tooltip-*) is rendered with position: absolute and transform: translate(...) and a lower z-index, while the surrounding Cursor Tab panel is mounted within higher workbench overlay layers (e.g. context-view).
Increasing the tooltip’s z-index alone does not consistently resolve the issue. The tooltip does not fully occlude the underlying panel content, which suggests it may be mounted in a different overlay layer rather than simply having an incorrect z-index.
It may help to render the tooltip through the same workbench overlay/context infrastructure as the panel so both share the same layering model and avoid stacking-context conflicts.
Hope this helps.

@deanrie hope my previous message can helps!

Click on the cursor tab and hover over the snooze information icon. The overlay is behind the parent overlay.
Same as description.

Hey, thanks for flagging this again. The bug is still there, I can confirm it on the latest version.
This is a known issue and we’ve got a lot of reports. Technically it’s not a simple z-index conflict. The (i) tooltip is mounted separately from the workbench overlay where the Cursor Tab popover lives, so they’re in different stacking contexts and raising z-index doesn’t help.
I’ll pass this back to the team with that detail. I can’t share an ETA yet, but I’ll post an update in the thread as soon as I have one.
