Have Claude code plugin within the Cursor. Worked fine until Friday, when a Cursor update occurred. The Claude icon (in the top-right corner of the text window) disappeared. Also, updating and accepting text generated by Claude-code stopped working.
I am wondering if this is intended (why would one use claude in cursor?) or if you planning an update to cursor soon to get it working as before?
Steps to Reproduce
Have the Claude code extension installed in the cursor version pushed before 21.11, and update the cursor on 21.11.
Operating System
MacOS
Current Cursor Version (Menu → About Cursor → Copy)
Icon disappeared: this was an intentional change in Cursor 2.1. You can bring it back:
Click the three dots in the top-right corner of the editor
Select “Configure Icon Visibility”
Check the boxes for the icons you want to show
More details here:
Code acceptance not working: this is likely a compatibility issue between the Claude Code extension and the new VSCode version (1.105.1) used in Cursor 2.1.20. I’d recommend:
Check if Claude Code has an update available in Extensions
If not, open an issue in the Claude Code GitHub repository so they can update it for the new version
Can’t help feeling that this change was intentional and in bad-faith. Caused me a lot of friction and wasted my time until I found this thread.
I’m a Claude code and a Cursor user (both paid) but have been using Claude code more frequently as of late because of a work subscription (but still in cursor). Out of frustration this change almost pushed me back to just using regular VsCode and I’m sure many other users feel the same.
