Thanks for reporting a bug you have found in Cursor!
Please add the following info to help us diagnose your issue:
Check the forum to ensure the issue hasn’t been reported already
Have searched - can’t find similar issue
Provide a clear description of the bug
My username folder has an apostrophe in it (i.e. Irish names like O’Neill/O’Malley etc).
The presence of the apostrophe (') in my Windows user profile path causes internal errors within Cursor, specifically visible in the Cursor Developer Tools console. This leads to instability and prevents certain features from working correctly.
e.g.
[Extension Host] SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier ‘Neill’
at compileSourceTextModule (node:internal/modules/esm/utils:340:16)
at ModuleLoader.moduleStrategy (node:internal/modules/esm/translators:168:18)
… (stack trace continues)
Explain how to reproduce the bug (if known)
Add an apostrophe to the username folder
Attach screenshots or recordings (e.g.,
.jpg
, .png
, .mp4
).
Tell us your operating system and your Cursor version (e.g.,
Windows, 0.x.x
).
Windows, 0.49.5
Tell us if the issue stops you from using Cursor.
Yes. I can’t use MCP servers currently which is pretty major functionality! I also can’t install any normal VS Code extensions
