Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

On macOS, the Cursor window cannot be dragged from parts of the title bar when an editor tab lies directly underneath that area. The tab captures the pointer, so the window remains in place instead of moving.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open Cursor in windowed mode on macOS.
  2. Open several editor tabs so the tab strip extends across the top/title-bar area.
  3. Click and hold in the title-bar area directly above/over one of those tabs.
  4. Drag the pointer to move the window.
  5. Observe that the window does not move; the tab area captures the drag. Dragging from an empty part of the title bar works.

Expected Behavior

Any visually exposed title-bar area should remain draggable and move the Cursor window. Editor-tab hitboxes should not extend into or intercept the draggable area above them.

Operating System

MacOS

Version Information

Cursor IDE version: 3.11.13
macOS version: 26.5.1 (Build 25F80)

Additional Information

Reproduced in the attached screen recording. The issue makes window management unreliable whenever tabs occupy the area beneath the intended drag region.

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hi @Nikita_Lozhnikov!

Thanks for reporting this. I can reproduce the issue, and I’ve filed a bug for the team!

For now, one workaround is to re-enable the title bar (Cursor Settings > General > Layout > Title bar). That way, you’ll always have something you can drag.
