Allowlist still visually truncates long commands

Describe the Bug

This was already raised here: Allowlist visually truncates long commands

In Cursor Settings, the command allowlist displays the first 25 or so characters of the command. I have in my allowlist commands like /home/my-user/code/envs/my-project-name/pytest which do not display to the end.

Fix suggestions:

  • Easy: a simple tool tip on the commands
  • Better: an editable text file storing the allowlist
  • Even better: make that hierarchical so I can have both global and per-project allowlists.

Steps to Reproduce

Add a command longer than 30 characters to the allowlist, view in Cursor Settings.

Expected Behavior

Display the whole command.

Operating System

Linux

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Thanks for reporting this — it’s a confirmed bug. Long commands in the allowlist are truncated at ~25-30 characters with no way to see the full text (no tooltip on hover).

For now, if you need to verify what’s in your allowlist, you can check your Cursor settings JSON directly — the commands are stored in full there even though the UI truncates them.
