Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

Cursor shows a Git commit hover popup with “View Commit” on code lines, which overrides the usual gitlens blame hover and adds a second tooltip, and there’s no obvious setting to disable it.

Steps to Reproduce

Open any git repo in Cursor with git history.
Hover your mouse over a line of code.
A Cursor commit hover popup appears (shows author, commit message, “View Commit”).
Git blame hover is overridden and a second popup appears.

Expected Behavior

only the standard git blame hover (or a setting to disable Cursor’s popup).

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, thanks for the report. The “View Commit” popup on hover is a Cursor Blame feature from version 2.4.

To turn it off:

  • Press Cmd+Shift+P (Command Palette)
  • Type: Cursor Blame: Toggle Editor Decoration
  • Press Enter

This will toggle the Cursor Blame hover popup.

That should fix the conflict with the GitLens hover.

This is an exceedingly annoying feature and should have been disabled by default.
No one coud figure out where this crap was coming from and it was quite disruptive.

Very bad deployment pattern.

Agreed. On top of that, their implementation of this feature feels unpolished and buggy. I’m stuck guessing and moving the mouse cursor around random parts of the UI just to get the popup to finally show up.

Very thankful this can be disabled lol.
