Describe the Bug

Not sure if this is a bug, but it isn’t a pleasant UX. When I type in a new line, the Cursor suggestion overlays what I am currently typing and forces me to type blindly. Since the suggestions are sometimes helpful but often not, this sucks. It disrupts my flow of thinking because I have to type blindly. But I also don’t want to disable these inline suggestions because they are often helpful.

I think this is especially annoying for experienced devs like me who see Cursor more as autocomplete on steroids and don’t want to trust it too much.

Steps to Reproduce

It doesn’t always happen; sometimes there is space. I tried this on a large screen and laptop screen, it affects both. It seems to happen more often on a new line.

Expected Behavior

I want to see what I am typing. Also when I type fast.
