Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Overall font sized are very different at different places of interface.

It would be nice if they will be consistent.

Hey, this is a known issue. The text size setting isn’t being applied to the chat panel correctly right now, and the team is aware.

A similar report is here: Chat Panel Text Size Issue

As a temporary workaround, you can use Ctrl + / Ctrl - (or Cmd + / Cmd - on Mac) to zoom the whole UI. It zooms more than just the chat, but it should at least make the text readable.

Let me know if there’s anything else.
