Whenever I do Ctrl + K to pop up the in-line assistant I get this random “backward” writing. It is not a visual bug, as the assistant does not understand and sometimes answers a similar nonsense.
Steps to Reproduce
I cannot even fully describe what is going on, as english is not my first language. It mostly happens when I use double windows (separate tabs from main session).
I am constantly working with jupyter notebooks. I know the suport for .ipynb is horrible, so it might be related.
Expected Behavior
I should be able to write logical text, flowing from left to right as most english writting flows.
Hey, thanks for the report. That’s a really weird case. From the screenshot, it looks like the text in the input field is completely flipped.
A few questions to help narrow this down:
Does this happen only in .ipynb files, or also in regular files like .py, .js, etc.?
Does it happen only when the editor is split, or can you reproduce it in a single editor tab too?
If you close all split panes and open a new .py file, does Ctrl+K work normally?
Do you have any extensions that might affect text direction or input handling?
Also, try restarting Cursor and testing in a normal Python file without split editors. That’ll help confirm whether it’s tied to Jupyter or to split panes.
Happens when I pres Ctrl+K and am in a different window. Just tested: the same document in my main window writes normally, when i move that document into its own window it writes backwards.
When i have a small amunt of code highlighted such that it appears as a blcok inside the ctrlk dialog it wites normally
If I switch to Quick Question also writes normally
When I have some text there already, normally written, it continues to write normally, but when i delete it and start writing fresh it writes right to left.
I imagine this is something with the RTL switch? But I don’t understand RTL properly to diagnose this further, since there are uncide overrides and all kinds fo RTL features I have no idea about.
I am experiencing the same issue. It appears to be related to losing focus on the Agents tab once it has been separated.
To test I created a blank folder, and opened it in Cursor. I clicked the More actions icon in the “Agents” sidebar, chose “Open tab as editor“, then dragged the Chat tab to my desktop.
Initially it will work as intended but as soon as you focus on the IDE window and then return to the Chat window the bug will appear.
Also, once an agent response has been returned, my mouse cursor won’t stay in the text input area when clicking on it once (as it should). I have to click and hold the mouse button in in order for cursor to stay in the box
