Cursor unusable ! - Typescript completely broken

( see attached screenshot )

…it does this on any new files…and randomly on old files…

…across different projects so it’s not a config thing.

Came out of the blue today… Cursor.sh re-install - no difference.

Cursor is now completely unusable !

What to do ??

SOLVED

Turns out Cursor got stuck using TYPESCRIPT for .TSX files… ( instead of TYPESCRIPT JSX )

How I fixed this…

1 - Uninstall Cursor
2 - Remove everything as per instructions → Cursor - Build Software Faster and also Uninstall Visual Studio Code
3 - Re-install Cursor
4 - Manually changed the .tsx association to TYPESCRIPT JSX by clicking the blue section lower right corner, then in the top “configure file association for .tsx” then select TYPESCRIPT JSX then re-start cursor

Hope this helps someone.
