Does this stop you from using Cursor

Sometimes - I can sometimes use Cursor

Hey, thanks for the report. This looks like a UI layout issue we haven’t seen before.

To help us reproduce and fix it faster, please share:

  • A screenshot or screen recording where the “Allow” button disappears
  • Whether the button becomes accessible again when you scroll the chat panel
  • Which specific MCP server or Browser Tool actions most reliably trigger this

I’m escalating this to the engineering team since it blocks the permission approval workflow for tools.

Temporary workarounds:

  • Resize the chat panel to see if the button reappears
  • Start a new chat when the history gets very long
  • Scroll the chat panel down to check if the button is pushed out of view

Let me know if any of these help!
