Cursor Still on VSCode 1.99.3: Update Plans?

[gabrielws (Gabriel Oliveira)]

Hello,

Are there any plans to update the VSCode base? Cursor is currently at version 1.99.3 (March 2025), while VSCode is already at 1.104 (September 2025). Is there a projected update date? Is there a roadmap for expected update frequency?

Hi @gabrielws, thanks for reaching out! We do periodically review upstream VSCode updates to keep Cursor in sync, but at this time there isn’t a fixed timeline.

If there’s a particular feature or improvement in newer VSCode versions that you need, please share.

In addition to compatibility with various extensions and general security/bug/performance fixes, there are two features I wanted:

• Support for oklab and oklch color functions (1.101)
• New setting window.border (1.104)

I also need TypeScript’s Expandable Hovers only available in 1.103 stable

Git - support HEAD <> working tree changes in gutter · Issue #60389 · microsoft/vscode · GitHub this is also very much missing (1.100)

Is there a reason you guys don’t generally consider keeping up to date with the latest VSCode versions just as a baseline rule?

The farther Cursor gets behind, the more security issues and extension support issues are going to mount.

In the last year, cusor update the vscode version at least 2 month one time.

But this year, seems half year ome time.

@condor macOS 26 have a severe bug drains battery, can you guys have a plan fix it ? Electron-based apps cause a huge system-wide lag on macOS 26 · Issue #48311 · electron/electron · GitHub

I think we did with this change.

Cursor window shadow on macOS disappeared

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)? Cursor IDE Describe the Bug I just updated Cursor to the latest version on macOS. The window shadow has disappeared. It’s impossible to distinguish Cursor windows from the rest of my desktop. Here is a screenshot of Cursor window on top of another Cursor window. Not really usable. Is there some configuration I can change on my side, or is this a bug that needs to get fixed? Steps to Reproduce Launch Cursor latest version Expected Behavior Window …

The fix merged in upstream, hope cursor will ship it soon.

Would love to have the below in Cursor

It really was the opportune time. Plow forward, plow forward, plow, plow, plow… I guess?

Please update. Windsurf/Antigravity all got to 1.104+

[gsmt]

It seems they have done it!
