Hey, thanks for the report. This looks like a real UX issue, especially for projects with duplicate filenames across different directories.

To help us investigate, please share:

  • A screenshot of the @ file reference dropdown (what you see now vs what you expect)
  • Your exact Cursor version (Help > About Cursor > Copy)

Once I can confirm the behavior from the screenshot, I’ll escalate this to the team, as it would definitely help with file disambiguation.
