When opening the internal browser instance and clicking to open it in a new Window, when trying to navigate to any website the website gets misplaced outside the new window and I can’t move it or scale it.
Steps to Reproduce
Run `Cursor: Open browser command in command palette
Navigate to any web page
Right click the Cursor’s browser tab > click Move into New Window
Focus the new opened window
Web page will be misplaced outside the new opened window
Expected Behavior
Website is placed inside the new window and you can move and resize the window.
In Cursor editor, when the built-in browser panel is split into a separate window, the new window appears blank. Concurrently, the original browser content becomes fixed and floats on top of the editor viewport with the highest z-index, obstructing other UI elements.
Steps to Reproduce
Open the Cursor editor.
Activate the integrated Browser panel.
Use the Splitfunction (or drag to detach) the Browser tab into an independent window.
Expected Behavior
The browser tab should split normally into a fully functional, independent window to facilitate convenient debugging.
I often detach tabs from Cursor and move them to 2nd monitor.
When I detach the browser tab to a 2nd monitor the content of the page is rendered over cursor window while tab is in another window.
Steps to Reproduce
Open browser tab.
Enter any URL, wait until page content is rendered.
I usually work on one large window, but I’ve been testing the new internal browser and I’d like to be able to pull it out of the main ide container to put on another monitor, however it kind of borks itself and ends up pinned to the corner.
Additionally, the cursor drop down menus appear below the rendered browser content, so I can only see the first 2 menu items.
Steps to Reproduce
Create an internal browser tab, visit a url, then try to drag it by it’s tab out of the IDE container to another monitor. Or drag it out first, then visit a url and the browser contents appears pinned to the top left of the main ide container.
Expected Behavior
It should render the browser properly in the detached tab
Operating System
Windows 10/11
Current Cursor Version (Menu → About Cursor → Copy)
Also there is no way to open the “Chrome” (window) browser. The agent just keeps trying to run npm run dev but I already have that running and another chrome browser from the launch config open. Which reminds me: Can @browser attach to a launch configuration chrome?
I currently have no way to use the browser feature and I really was getting a lot of milage out of it before this stopped working.
I even tried removing all MCP servers and restarting. Nothing seems to work (even a fresh computer reboot)
If you pop the browser out into its own window, the scaffolding around the browser will show in a seperate window but the actual browser content renders inside of the primary window.
I have two monitors and when I try to move the browser that into another monitor as you can see the tag move to next monitor but the browser content still load in previous one
Steps to Reproduce
open browser
drag browser tab and drop it in another monitor
In Editor mode there’s bugged transparent label reading “404 not found”, which covers side menu and makes it inaccessible, along with a part of left hand side of the IDE. All the dropdown menus from top menu bar are also covered and inaccessible.
Restarting Cursor didn’t help. that’s severe block.
Steps to Reproduce
EDIT: Got it. Browser automation was DISABLED in settings, but at the same time browser automation pane remained open in a second window.
Expected Behavior
No weird label, clean access to side menu and main menu.
Browser Content Area Not Rendering After “Move into New Window”, I attached screenshots.
Steps to Reproduce
Open a browser tab within Cursor (navigated to google.com in this case)
Use “Move into New Window” action on the browser tab
Observe the new window after separation
I performed a complete uninstallation of Cursor, including removing all files from Application Support, and reinstalled from scratch. The issue persists after this clean installation, indicating this is not related to corrupted user settings or cache.
Expected Behavior
Browser content area should render normally in the new window, displaying the webpage (Google homepage) correctly.
When resizing the outer window, the incorrectly rendered content area also resizes.
I have an additional question regarding browser behavior. When I click the browser button in the agent chat screen, it always opens the browser tab within Cursor, even though I have configured Chrome as the default browser in Cursor Settings.
As I recall, when Chrome was selected in settings, it would launch Chrome externally.
However, recently it consistently uses the internal browser tab regardless of the settings configuration. Please investigate whether this is a regression or a settings application issue.
