Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

Focus leaks from the modal and I can tab to editor menus and eventually the focus goes to the terminal and the focus gets stuck there, so there’s no way to tab back your way through that.

Close the window

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, thanks for the report. It looks like a focus trap issue with the close window modal on Linux.

I’ll pass this to the team since it’s an accessibility issue with keyboard navigation. The modal should properly trap focus and prevent it from moving to the editor or terminal.

As a temporary workaround, you can try using the mouse to interact with the modal or press Escape to close it, if that key still works.

Please also let me know if you see the same issue with other modals or dialogs in Cursor.

Yes I can interact with it using mouse and it works fine.
Sure, I’ll report if I find any other modal producing the same, thanks.
