Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, thanks for the report. This is a known issue. Commands in the allowlist get cut off because the settings container has a limited width. The team is aware.

For now, you can use a workaround. Manage the allowlist via ~/.cursor/permissions.json:

{
  "terminalAllowlist": [
    "git add",
    "git checkout",
    "mkdir",
    "git status",
    "git diff"
  ]
}

This file takes priority over the UI list. Cursor watches the file for changes, so you don’t need to restart. More details in this thread Allowlist still visually truncates long commands
