Feature request for product/service
Cursor IDE
Describe the request
I am experiencing two UX inconveniences. I’m hoping for a fix or a setting toggle.
- The Flashing Blue Border on AI Commands When the Agent/AI proposes a terminal command (e.g., python script.py), the UI displays a permission box with a flashing/pulsing blue border.
The Issue: The flashing is distracting.
What I tried: I attempted to set “workbench.reduceMotion”: “on” and tried overriding “focusBorder”, “inputValidation.infoBorder”, and “notificationCenter.border” to transparent in workbench.colorCustomizations.
Result: The blue border still appears and pulses. It seems this specific Agent UI element ignores standard theme overrides.
Request: Please add a setting to disable this animation or respect the reduceMotion setting.
- Aggressive Auto-Scroll When using the Chat or Terminal while the AI is requesting a command, I am forced back to the bottom of the screen.
The Issue: If I scroll up to read previous context or logs while the AI is working, the editor forcibly scrolls me back down, making it hard to read history.
What I tried: I verified that “output.smartScroll.enabled” is false, but the behavior persists in the Cursor Chat/Agent pane.
Request: Please implement a “Scroll Lock” or ensure that if the user has manually scrolled up, the view does not snap back to the bottom until the user scrolls back down manually.
Environment:
OS: Windows
Cursor Version: [Latest]
Thanks.
