Hi, thanks for reporting! We have an open bug ticket for this issue on Windows (I know you’re on Mac). Would you mind sharing the cursor version info ? You can grab it by going to Cursor → About Cursor and copying the version information you see there. This will help us clarify the impacted versions.
