Cursor AI auto completion (ghost text) does not work

Bug Reports
1

Hey everyone!

I’ve got a weired bug in Cursor. The autocompletion is sometimes working and sometimes dont, while the Chat features are available and working properly. I was trying to switch HTTP2 back and forth, but it doesn’t help. The issue has the same behaviour in Windows, WSL and via SSH.

Here are the logs that i get in the developer tools Console:

Same problem here

I’m having the same issue. It seems to fix itself randomly, but broken 90% of the time.

I’m using the latest version of Cursor on MacOS. I also have a Windows machine with Cursor which works fine, leading me to believe this is either an issue specific to my Macbook or a MacOS Cursor bug.

Okay, i’ve managed to fix it with developer console

It turned out that there is a problem with PyRight compatibility, because both PyRight and ghost text are trying to modify the UI. So the PyRight removal helped the situation
