False reporting `New Update Available`

Bug Reports
1

It keeps showing New update available in the bottom left corner despite I’ve downloaded the latest version.

I’ve tried:

  1. Click the Update now button. This action doesn’t update my cursor in my experience. It just reboots cursor without any changes I can observe. I also tried rebooting my computer and the version is still the same.
  2. Download the latest AppImage from the official and replace the one in my /opt/ folder. Reboot my computer after the replacement. I open cursor with super key and type cursor and enter. This action helped me update my version before.

My system:

Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS

Cursor:
