Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, thanks for the report. I can see the screenshot, this is a known bug. The Plan mode buttons inherit their color from the theme CSS tokens, specifically editorWarning.foreground, which makes the text unreadable on some themes.

The team is aware, and I’ve added your report for prioritization. There’s no ETA yet, but it’s being tracked.

As a workaround, if you have any color customizations in settings.json, check whether editorWarning.foreground is set to a transparent value. If it is, remove the transparency or set it to an opaque color. You can also try switching to a different theme.

Let me know if the workaround helps.
