When right clicking the browser tab in IDE, I cannot click options that seem to be rendered below the browser’s URL input field. Cursor switches to arrow and the options are no longer clickable.
Same goes for context menus from the top bar — the moment they overlap the contents of the browser tab, they are no longer clickable.
Steps to Reproduce
Open Browser Tab
Right-click the Browser Tab
Try to click one of the options listed lower in the dropdown, e.g. Move into New Window
Expected Behavior
The whole context menu should remain usable — keep the same behaviour as any other tab.
Operating System
Windows 10/11
Current Cursor Version (Menu → About Cursor → Copy)
Hey, thanks for the report. This looks like a UI layering issue where the browser tab content renders above the context menu.
Could you share a screenshot or a short video showing the context menu appearing and then becoming unclickable? This will help the dev team reproduce and fix the issue faster.
I’ll escalate this as soon as we have visual confirmation.
@sanjeed5@deanrie Hi, I’m attaching a screen recording, where you can see the issue. It’s a bit different from the one Tim sent, but I assume the root of the problem is the same.
When a browser tab is active, multiple drop downs at the top are truncated due to being opened behind the browser tab window (somehow its like configured to always be ontop). This prevents access to Go, Run, Terminal and Help drop downs after the 3rd or 4th item depending on your screen size.
Steps to Reproduce
open a browser tab
navigate to any website
attempt to use the Go, Run, Terminal, or Help dropdowns
The Browser Menu is mostly hidden behind the browser window content, the dropdown displays behind the content i.e. not visible and not accessible.
The “Take Screenshot” dropdown menu option is selectable, but the rest of the menu is cut off.

When I open the browser tab, it takes precedence over the other fields (and their tooltips), preventing them from being displayed correctly (see image). This is happening with all menus.
Steps to Reproduce
Open a browser tab, try to access the git options in the dropdown menu em in the commit button.
Expected Behavior
the dropdown menu show be displayed over other tabs
The drop-down menu content that calls out correctly in the menu bar is blocked by the browser tab
Steps to Reproduce
Open the IDE and then open the tab of your browser. Click on Terminal or Help in the menu bar to bring up the corresponding drop-down menu. The menu content is blocked by the browser content
Expected Behavior
The drop-down menu display level is higher than that of the browser tab, and the content is displayed completely
When I open the context menu from the File Explorer sidebar while having a web page open in the main editor area, the context menu renders on top of the browser view. This creates a visual overlap where the UI elements clash with the web content.
Steps to Reproduce
Open any project in Cursor.
Open the Internal Browser
Right-click on any file in the File Explorer sidebar.
Observe that the context menu extends into the main editor pane and overlaps with the active browser window.
Expected Behavior
The context menu should ideally be contained within the sidebar or handled in a way that visually separates it from the heavy-weight webview component, preventing visual clutter.
When the built-in browser is active, all dropdown menus (top bar menus like Selection, View, Run, etc. and the ⋯ menu) render behind the browser canvas instead of on top.
They are partially visible but not clickable.
Steps to Reproduce
Open Cursor IDE
Open the built-in browser (any website)
Click any dropdown menu in the top bar (Selection, View, ⋯ etc.)
Menu appears behind the browser canvas
Expected Behavior
All dropdown menus appear on top of the browser and are clickable
Not sure if this has been detailed, but on macOS the browser window is covering the editor tooltip, primarily the split editor since it’s two lines but I imagine the more actions would be as well.
Steps to Reproduce
Create a web app / site
Launch the browser
Hover over the split editor icon
Expected Behavior
The tooltip should appear above the browser window
