I found a solution. Finally! The issue seems to be related to nVidia GPU’s and Electron apps using Hardware Acceleration. The trick is to disable hardware acceleration for IDE GUI rendering.
In Cursor press Ctrl+Shft+P and select “Preferences: Configure Runtime Arguments” which will open up argv.json for Cursor.
Add:
"disable-hardware-acceleration": true,
The comma at the end is necessary if there are other arguments in the brackets.
Close and reopen the editor. Issue fixed!
It’s actually baked into the file already you just have to uncomment it. See below:
// NOTE: Changing this file requires a restart of VS Code.
{
// Use software rendering instead of hardware accelerated rendering.
// This can help in cases where you see rendering issues in VS Code.
// "disable-hardware-acceleration": true,
