Context menu not working properly on browser tab

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

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

  1. Open Browser Tab
  2. Right-click the Browser Tab
  3. 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.

Also, when we are already at it, is there a way to open multiple browser tabs in the editor view?

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.

I’ve opened a duplicat, but there is a screenshot here: Right click on tab element hidden behind browser

Thanks for the reports, I’ve passed it on to the team!


@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.

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

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

  1. open a browser tab
  2. navigate to any website
  3. attempt to use the Go, Run, Terminal, or Help dropdowns

Expected Behavior

The main dropdowns should always be ontop and accessibe.
