Cursor doesn't align with actual text insert location

Describe the Bug

When I use Cursor, the cursor is not aligned with the actual location which makes selecting and editing text very hard.

This has happened on and off during the last months I’ve been using Cursor and it seems to self-fix, but hasn’t this last time.

Somewhere I read that changing fonts or font size fixes it, however font and font size is an important preference and I don’t wish to change it.

Steps to Reproduce

Occurs by just opening Cursor and attempting to select or insert text.

Operating System

MacOS
