Cursor tab hides all code in the line

[aculine]

Hi all,

I have a small problem with Cursor Tab. Sometimes, the suggestion comes ‘inline’ to the code I am writing, causing me:

1. I do not read the hint because it goes too far to the right, beyond the window
2. it covers all the code and I don’t know what I am writing (if I wanted to ignore the hint)

I’ve tried in the help and settings, but I probably can’t find the option to put the hint under my code.

Thank you, Luca

Hey, which version of Cursor are you using?

[aculine]

Currently Cursor Version: 0.45.11 (VSCode Version: 1.96.2)

I reported this a couple major versions ago, got no response.

It’d be great if it would never overlay the caret and adjusts its contents when needed so it’s not clipped by the editor bounds.

We’ve should have a fix for this coming in the next release that should prevent the tab from overlaying your code and handle the window bounds better. In the meantime, you can press Esc to dismiss any unwanted suggestions

I’ll make sure the team takes another look at this to ensure it’s fully resolved in the update

Thank you, Dan! I have faith in the new release.

Hey team, any updates on this? Love the product, but this behaviour is super annoying and it happens all the time, especially for someone using a smaller screen (13 inch MacBook in my case)

Ideally I would love to have an option to change the placement of this popup so it doesn’t get in the way.

Quite frustrating… see the screenshot; my cursor is somewhere around the word “exported” under the box.

• It happens on very wide lines (col ~60 is at left of window, column 200 at right) semi-repeatably.
• It keeps popping back in, but of course I have to dismiss it: I can’t see what mischief the right side of the proposal might hold.
• I’m on the latest version and have been seeing this for at least 10 days: `Version: 0.49.0 (Universal) / VSCode Version: 1.96.2 / Commit: 88a47f0edd42a2ba73afb018ada9fe9eda7df750 / Date: 2025-04-16T04:07:30.876Z (2 days ago) / Electron: 34.3.4 / Chromium: 132.0.6834.210 / Node.js: 20.18.3 / V8: 13.2.152.41-electron.0 / OS: Darwin arm64 24.4.0
