I came not to access files and codes for not showing up after modefing a (settings.json)file for Cursor Editor.

What types of issues are supposed to happen? How could I find causes?

Hi @Shion-18

It seems like you might’ve made a mistake with the settings since your status bar is on top. Honestly, it’s hard for me to tell exactly what went wrong because I’ve never seen that happen. I’d suggest that if you’ve got important settings in `settings.json`, copy all the code, remove it, and start adding it back bit by bit to see what changes and when it starts to break.

@deanrie  
I’ve solved the issue by reinstalling Cursor editor.

Thanks for your feedback!
