( 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](https://docs.cursor.com/troubleshooting/common-issues#how-do-i-uninstall-cursor) and also [Uninstall Visual Studio Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/setup/uninstall) 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. ---

Had the same issue but I was determined to try everything before reinstalling Cursor 😃 What magically helped: Disabling and re-enabling “Tailwind CSS IntelliSense” extension. Maybe it somehow forced language parsers to re initialize. Hope this helps somebody.
