Where does the bug appear (feature/product)? Cursor IDE Describe the Bug I just updated Cursor to the latest version on macOS. The window shadow has disappeared. It’s impossible to distinguish Cursor windows from the rest of my desktop. Here is a screenshot of Cursor window on top of another Curso…

Just updated to Version: 2.0.34 stable. Back in form! [Screenshot 2025-10-29 at 09.36.20@2x-min]

Same here. Does anyone know how to workaround?

btw, relevant info here https://x.com/normarayr/status/1969940110218055917

I’m livid they haven’t fixed this yet. The fix is out and they have rolled an update and it wasn’t incorporated.

This issue is still ongoing. Version: 1.7.38 VSCode Version: 1.99.3 Commit: fe5d1728063e86edeeda5bebd2c8e14bf4d0f960 Date: 2025-10-06T18:18:58.523Z Electron: 34.5.8 Chromium: 132.0.6834.210 Node.js: 20.19.1 V8: 13.2.152.41-electron.0 OS: Darwin arm64 25.0.0

Same issue here, please correct!

Is this a big problem? It hasn’t been fixed for half a month. Is it because the problem code cannot be located?

Every time I see “a new version is available” I keep hoping it will be fixed, but nope!

It will be to fix the macos electron issue without removing the shadow they will need a much bigger fix of updating electron in cursor

Why is there such a big gap between our version numbers? I’m only 1.7.
