Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

Select Element should identify/tag/link the element to the active agent (i assume).

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open Agent Window
  2. Open Browser
  3. Use “select element”

Expected Behavior

I’d assume it is supposed to let us refer to an element to the agent, it does not do anything.

Similar problem here, but clicking on the “select element” icon only changes the icon colour and does nothing else. The web page in the tab continues behaving as before. There’s no highlighting of any elements on the page, and clicking on things just interacts normally with the page. I would provide a screenshot or recording but it would be pointless as it’s just complete lack of functionality, there’s nothing to show.
