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.

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.
