The Bug

  1. Recently updated cursor - in the last few days
  2. This morning, on first usage, as usual I run from the command line in the directory of my source: cursor .
  3. This opens cursor - but at /usr

Mitigation

File>Open Recent>[Find project]; [choose project]

all seems good so far after this

There’s been some sort of regression here

The issue does not stop me using cursor thus far

I’ve had other problems now that likely stem from this: e.g. my Jupyter plug-in is no-longer finding the ipykernel module. So far I haven’t got it too. I’m debugging. I’d rather not…

Okay, so a symptom is that my call to cursor . starts me at /tmp/.mount_cursor6QbcFn/usr instead of my actual current directory.

If I go cursor $(pwd) it starts in my current directory and has all my windows, but still doesn’t find ipykernel (and so far I can’t get it to).
