Does this stop you from using Cursor

Sometimes - I can sometimes use Cursor

Hey, thanks for the report. There’s a known issue with copying text from some UI components in Cursor 2.0, especially in Plan mode (it’s being tracked).

To help diagnose, please clarify:

  • Where does it happen? Are you using the Agent in the sidebar or opening it as an Agents Window?
  • Does it work in Ask mode? Can you copy from regular Chat/Ask responses, or is it only broken in Agent mode?
  • Screenshot: could you share what you see when you try to select text?

Also, please test with extensions disabled to rule out conflicts: cursor --disable-extensions.

Let me know what you find.

  • sidebar
  • Agent mode; It seems that the bug is not always active.
  • I just select the text and do Ctrl+C; nothing special
  • “Also, please test (…)” I’m too lazy :eyes:

Seeing this same behaviour in both sidebar and agent mode on MacOS. Clicking the copy to clipboard button works but highlighting and copy does not. Cheers.
