Intermittent bug with text cursor position

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

When I run Cursor sometimes when I put the cursor to one place it’s shown in other and when I type some text or erase it using Backspace I can see that letters disappear for example from the end of the line and not from position where my cursor is shown.
After restarting it usually works as expected. But I always have to restart to get rid of this bug.
It happened a lot on previous versions as well.
You can see video that shows how it works.

Steps to Reproduce

Can’t catch a moment when it happens. It happens occasionally after running the Cursor.

Hey, thanks for the report. The issue might be related to the font. Previously, some users complained about this, and changing the font resolved the problem. If you need this specific font, you might try finding it in a different format or another version.

I have the same issue with different popular fonts (like “JetBrains Mono” and “Fira Code”). And it keeps persisting after restarting Cursor and then suddenly resolves itself until some days later. It’s a fresh, first-time Cursor install from last week.

Update: I can replicate the issue now. It happens when dragging the Cursor window to a different screen than it was opened on.

Internal Screen (auto opened here):

Thank you for catching this. We’ll look into it.

I used JetBrains Mono. I can use Font Switch plugin to switch quickly between 2 fonts when I have this bug. So I can go to another font and then return back to JetBrains Mono and the bug will disappear.

But that’s annoying.
