I need the Markdown preview in Cursor to be stable!

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

Currently, when previewing Markdown tables in Cursor, the table content jumps when I move the mouse over the table. I haven’t encountered this issue when previewing in tools like Trae. I’d like Cursor’s preview to be more stable. As an independent developer, I need to preview a large number of proposals and require a stable visual experience. I use 2–3 Ultra subscription accounts each month, so I hope this issue can be resolved as soon as possible.

Steps to Reproduce

You can reproduce this issue simply by previewing a Markdown table.

Expected Behavior

The table should not jump.

Thanks for the report, @user1675!

This is a known issue: Markdown preview flicker on mouse movement inside table - #4 by deanrie

I’ve linked your report to our existing bug report, which helps us prioritize it.

As a workaround, you can use VS Code’s built-in Markdown: Open Preview command (Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+V), which opens an HTML preview of the markdown without the flicker.

Hey @user1675,

Thanks for the report. The table jumping in the Markdown preview when hovering has been fixed, the fix shipped in Cursor 3.14 and is included in the latest version.

Let me know if you still see it after updating!
