Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?
Cursor IDE
Describe the Bug
In Cursor’s in-editor Markdown Preview, I cannot select multiple lines in a list by triple-clicking and dragging. Only the first line under the cursor is selected.
In VS Code’s Markdown preview, the same triple-click + drag selects across multiple list lines as expected. In Cursor, selecting multiple list lines requires carefully aiming at the very start of the first line and dragging from there.
Steps to Reproduce
- Open a Markdown file containing a bullet or numbered list with several lines.
- Switch to in-editor Preview (Markdown/Preview toggle).
- Triple-click a list item and drag downward across subsequent list items.
- Observe that selection does not extend across multiple list lines (only the first line is selected).
- Compare with VS Code Markdown preview, where the same gesture selects multiple list lines.
Expected Behavior
Triple-click + drag in Preview should select text across multiple list lines, matching VS Code Markdown preview behavior.

Additional Information
- This is about Cursor’s rich in-editor Markdown Preview, not the classic Ctrl+Shift+V preview.
- I searched the forum and did not find an existing report for this selection behavior.
Does this stop you from using Cursor
No - Cursor works, but with this issue
