Same issue here on Windows. Would love to be able to use the browser on second monitor. I’m on v2.0.43.

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

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

  1. Open the Cursor editor.
  2. Activate the integrated Browser panel.
  3. 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.
