Hey, thanks for the report. To help investigate, please share:
How are you trying to copy? (CMD/CTRL+C after selecting text, right‑click context menu, or another method?)
What happens when you try? (Nothing happens, or do you see an error?)
Does copying work in other areas like the editor or terminal?
Console errors: Help → Toggle Developer Tools → Console tab, please share any errors
Let me know what you find.
How are you trying to copy?
Both CTRL+C and right‑click context menu not working.
What happens when you try?
Nothing happens.
Does copying work in other areas like the editor or terminal?
Yes
No errors in Console tab.

no-user-select class appends to the div automatically.

Thanks for the detailed debugging! The no-user-select class you found is the exact root cause.
This is a known issue in Cursor 2.0 affecting copy in some UI components (Output tab, Agent responses). The team is already tracking it.
I’ll escalate this to engineering along with your findings, your CSS analysis is very helpful.

Cursor do not copy from the terminal ‘output’ panel anymore since 2.0
output something in the terminal output panel (for example using the famous code runner extension)
select a text field, copy
it didn’t copy anything into buffer
Windows 10/11
Version: 2.0.54 (user setup)
No - Cursor works, but with this issue
NOTE:
this is rather annoying as i used to copy/paste all the code runner errors from this output panel to the chat, now i can’t tell my agent to debug the errors because i am unable to copy/paste the errors..

Copying still doesn’t work.
Downloading version 1.7 from the Cursor homepage fixes the output tab copying issue.
Make sure to disable auto-updates in version 1.7 by pressing Ctrl + , and setting Update: Mode to “none” or “manual”.
I’m using Cursor for creating an LSP this week, and this issue has been quite frustrating when trying to get context for logs and output from a separate host window back into the main Cursor chat

Cursor IDE
In the Output window (e.g. Cmake/Build), I’m no longer able to copy the text within the Output Window
Open the Output window tab
Select any option in the dropdown on the right hand side
Highlight the text in the Output window
Right click & select ‘Copy’ (or use CTRL/CMD+C)
Try to paste somewhere
Observe that the copy failed
I expect to be able to copy from the Output window (it was working in ~V2.0.30 but it now broken in V2.0.64)
Windows 10/11
Version: 2.0.64 (user setup)

I have just restarted my Mac, and I am still unable to copy text from build output window to the chat prompt.
Workaround: Downgrade to v2.0.34
