Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, thanks for the detailed report with steps and version info. That’s exactly what we needed.

This is a known issue with Design Mode in Glass when multitasking. Focus on the selected element gets lost and any partially typed text resets when a parallel agent is streaming. We’re tracking it, but I can’t share an ETA for a fix yet.

legends. keep at it. thanks.
