Breadcrumbs in editor are not scrollable for deeply nested files

[Dhairya_Rupala]

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

When opening deeply nested files in Cursor, the breadcrumbs displayed above the editor panel are not scrollable. If the path becomes long, part of the breadcrumb gets hidden and there is no way to access the earlier segments.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open a project with deeply nested folders.
2. Open a file located several levels deep.
3. Observe the breadcrumbs above the editor.

Expected Behavior

Breadcrumbs should either:

1. be horizontally scrollable, or
2. collapse intelligently so the full path can be accessed.

Current Behaviour :
Breadcrumbs overflow and become partially hidden with no scroll option. We can always click on the crumbs but still scroll behaviour is a plus UX.

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, thanks for the report. It looks like scrolling works in VS Code but not in Cursor, so this is just a missing feature, not a bug.

I’ve shared this with the team. For now, as a workaround, this should help you navigate the path: use Cmd+Shift+. to focus the breadcrumbs, then use the arrow keys.
