Describe the Bug

There’s a settings checkbox in Cursor now for “Suggestions in Comments: Enable or disable Cursor Tab suggestions in comments”. I have it unchecked. Cursor still makes tab suggestions when the text cursor is in a comment block.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Enable Cursor Tab
  2. Disable suggestions in comments
  3. Create a Python file
  4. Write some code
  5. Start a comment block
  6. Start typing

Expected Behavior

Cursor should be making no suggestions. But it is.

Operating System

MacOS

Additional Information

I’m really tired of the AI getting in my way and making totally counterproductive predictions of what I’m going to write in a comment, derailing my train of thought. Means I have to disable Tab again every time I start writing a comment. Makes me that much less inclined to use Cursor at all.

Does this stop you from using Cursor

Sometimes - I can sometimes use Cursor

As is:
It suggests immediately after manually starting a comment line,

eg. for JS, type // + spacebar and the autosuggest appears. Once you continue (Or escape) it seems to stop suggesting.

To be:
It should not suggest at all when starting a comment line.
