Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?
Cursor IDE
Describe the Bug
The “Cursor Tab” item in the status bar (bottom-right) is the only status-bar element that is not clickable. All other items (git branch, notifications, LSP status, etc.) open their menu on left-click, but “Cursor Tab” requires hover with a delay.
This is a significant accessibility issue because:
No click activation → inconsistent with the rest of the UI
Completely inaccessible via keyboard
There are actions that are completely depend on you being to able to hover.
Steps to Reproduce
Open Cursor.
Look at the right side of the status bar (bottom of the window).
Observe the items from right to left, e.g.:
Git branch → LSP/server status → Cursor Tab → Bell notifications → Feedback/Smile
Click on any item except “Cursor Tab” → a menu or action immediately appears.
Try to click on the “Cursor Tab” label itself → nothing happens.
Hover over “Cursor Tab” → after ~500 ms delay, a menu appears.
Expected Behavior
The “Cursor Tab” label in the status bar should behave like every other status-bar item:
Left-click immediately opens the Cursor Tab menu (same as the other items)
