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: ```auto [Cpp] Error updating ghost text TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'getHTMLElement') at omi.isFocused (workbench.desktop.main.js:4020:48145) at lEi.isProblemFocused (workbench.desktop.main.js:4975:2905) at lEi.isTextFocusedOrSimilarlyFocused (workbench.desktop.main.js:4975:3016) at workbench.desktop.main.js:4975:3194 at Array.find () at lEi.getFocusedCodeEditor (workbench.desktop.main.js:4975:3181) at lEi.lc (workbench.desktop.main.js:4987:3817) at ve (workbench.desktop.main.js:4972:8217) at new lEi (workbench.desktop.main.js:4972:8274) at QTi.o (workbench.desktop.main.js:3217:1592) update @ workbench.desktop.main.js:2349 workbench.desktop.main.js:2371 [Extension Host] (node:17276) ExperimentalWarning: Use `importAttributes` instead of `importAssertions` (Use `Cursor --trace-warnings ...` to show where the warning was created) Nkr @ workbench.desktop.main.js:2371 workbench.desktop.main.js:4922 Extension Host 6workbench.desktop.main.js:2349 [Cpp] Error updating ghost text TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'getHTMLElement') at omi.isFocused (workbench.desktop.main.js:4020:48145) at lEi.isProblemFocused (workbench.desktop.main.js:4975:2905) at lEi.isTextFocusedOrSimilarlyFocused (workbench.desktop.main.js:4975:3016) at workbench.desktop.main.js:4975:3194 at Array.find () at lEi.getFocusedCodeEditor (workbench.desktop.main.js:4975:3181) at lEi.lc (workbench.desktop.main.js:4987:3817) at ve (workbench.desktop.main.js:4972:8217) at new lEi (workbench.desktop.main.js:4972:8274) at QTi.o (workbench.desktop.main.js:3217:1592) update @ workbench.desktop.main.js:2349 2workbench.desktop.main.js:4852 Writing file file:///c%3A/Users/Admin/.cursor/extensions/ms-vscode-remote.remote-wsl-0.81.8/dist/node/wslDaemon.js 2workbench.desktop.main.js:4852 Writing file file:///c%3A/Users/Admin/.cursor/extensions/ms-vscode-remote.remote-wsl-0.81.8/dist/node/extension.js 3workbench.desktop.main.js:2349 [Cpp] Error updating ghost text TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'getHTMLElement') at omi.isFocused (workbench.desktop.main.js:4020:48145) at lEi.isProblemFocused (workbench.desktop.main.js:4975:2905) at lEi.isTextFocusedOrSimilarlyFocused (workbench.desktop.main.js:4975:3016) at workbench.desktop.main.js:4975:3194 at Array.find () at lEi.getFocusedCodeEditor (workbench.desktop.main.js:4975:3181) at lEi.lc (workbench.desktop.main.js:4987:3817) at ve (workbench.desktop.main.js:4972:8217) at new lEi (workbench.desktop.main.js:4972:8274) at QTi.o (workbench.desktop.main.js:3217:1592) update @ workbench.desktop.main.js:2349 workbench.desktop.main.js:4940 Error refreshing background composers ConnectError: [invalid_argument] Error at t (workbench.desktop.main.js:2405:131870) at async Object.listBackgroundComposers (workbench.desktop.main.js:98:15147) at async jki.refreshBackgroundComposers (workbench.desktop.main.js:4940:7887) (anonymous) @ workbench.desktop.main.js:4940 www.vscode-unpkg.net/_gallery/anysphere/pyright/latest:1 Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 () workbench.desktop.main.js:593 Failed to refresh server config from server: ConnectError: [invalid_argument] Error at t (workbench.desktop.main.js:2405:131870) at async Object.getServerConfig (workbench.desktop.main.js:98:15147) at async m3t.forceRefreshServerConfig (workbench.desktop.main.js:593:32293) forceRefreshServerConfig @ workbench.desktop.main.js:593 2workbench.desktop.main.js:4020 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'getHTMLElement') at omi.isFocused (workbench.desktop.main.js:4020:48145) at lEi.isProblemFocused (workbench.desktop.main.js:4975:2905) at lEi.isTextFocusedOrSimilarlyFocused (workbench.desktop.main.js:4975:3016) at workbench.desktop.main.js:4975:3194 at Array.find () at lEi.getFocusedCodeEditor (workbench.desktop.main.js:4975:3181) at lEi.lc (workbench.desktop.main.js:4987:3817) at HTMLDocument.handleKeyDownForCppKeys (workbench.desktop.main.js:4972:3157) ``` ---

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 ---
