Cursor CLI

Describe the Bug

Whenever I try to select GPT-5.4-High, I get pushed into viewing other models that match the prefix instead of selecting the model. I just verified that actually I’m just slotted straight into Extra High Fast if I follow my expectations. I’ve reproduced it below. I think when you move the cursor you have already provided intent to choose a model, just give me the model.

Steps to Reproduce

type in gpt-5.4 into model selector. See above.

Expected Behavior

I think when you move the cursor you have already provided intent to choose a model, just give me the model.

### Does this stop you from using Cursor
No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, thanks for the report. Great description and clear repro steps.

This is a known bug. When one model name is a prefix of another one, like “GPT-5.4 High” vs “GPT-5.4 High Fast”, the selector re-filters the list instead of confirming the selection. The team is aware, but there’s no ETA for a fix yet.

As a workaround, try typing a more exact name, for example /model gpt-5.4 high with a space after “high”, then press Enter right away. It’s not perfect, but it can help you get past the re-filtering.

Let me know if you find another way to work around it.

can you just have an agent fix it?
