File tab’s scroll bar jumps back even after touching it, after switching windows
Steps to Reproduce
Touch a different, non cursor window, or another cursor instance [in the video, 3 cursor instances are running]
go back to the file browser tab
touch the scroll bar
it will ignore the scrollbar and jump back to the open file
___
The same happens if you delete a file from the file screen. When it’s deleted, the scroll bar jumps to some other arbitrary file instead of staying in place.
Expected Behavior
if I touch the scroll bar it should be the highest priority, and should never be overriden.
The jumping behavior itself is desired, ONLY WHEN I CLICK A FILE
it should not jump when I open the file tab, and especially not when I touch the scroll bar or start scrolling with the wheel
Hey, thanks for the detailed report. The video and repro steps really help.
This looks like a new issue. Jumping to the open file is definitely handy, but you’re right, the scrollbar should take priority when the user is interacting with it.
Could you test two scenarios:
Close two Cursor windows so only one is left, switch to another app (not Cursor), come back, and try using the scrollbar.
Check if this happens only in the file browser, or if other sidebars (Search, Extensions) behave the same way.
This will help us figure out if it’s related to multiple instances or to window focus in general. Let me know what you find and I’ll pass it to the team with these details.
this specifically jumps to the file so it’s only in the file browser.
there is also a jump in the chat window that i can’t figure out the exact behavior of. It always jumps to the top, and doesn’t always happen.
I think it has to do with pasting a lot of text.
With respect, I don’t have time to do very specific tests or figure out exact reproducing behavior.
I need to work with multiple windows because I am working on different remote computers at the same time, that’s a given. If closing 2 of them solves it, it’s not relevant for me.
Please let me emphasize: jumping to the open file is NOT desired.
The ONLY jump that should ever happen is when I actively open a different file (change file selection from the main window).
any file browser jump must only be triggered by an active user action, otherwise it’s unexpected.
