Cursorignore does not respect trailing slash for folders

Describe the Bug

Cursorignore does not respect trailing slash. See the steps. I also tried outside WSL, just with a project in Windows - same result.

Steps to Reproduce

created a .cursorignore inside the workspace, and added a folder to the list:

data/

with trailing slash.

Cursor doesn’t mark the folder as ignored.

When I remove trailing slash, the “ignored” sign appears in the explorer.

Expected Behavior

ignore when trailing slash is specified for folder

as mentioned in the docs:

Screenshots / Screen Recordings

Operating System

No - Cursor works, but with this issue
