Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, thanks for the report. It looks like the Agent is typing (text is visible), but the value attribute isn’t showing in Elements - this is normal for DevTools: it needs a property test. Can we check and gather a repro?

  • After the Agent types, open the console and send the result:
    document.querySelector('input[type="email"]').value
  • Does the script work (NEXT button/validation) after Agent input vs manual typing?
  • Is the field in an iframe or shadow DOM?
  • Try the same step in another context: open the browser in “Chrome” instead of the built-in panel and report the result.
  • Send a short repro (public URL or minimal HTML), plus:
    • Full Type step output in the right panel
    • Errors from Console/Network
    • Request ID for the Type step (chat > menu > Copy Request ID)

With this data, we can quickly confirm the bug and escalate it.

  • The internal value of the input it’s correct
  • The script works with manual input
  • No
  • I cannot open the browser in Chrome as the browser button is not working in the agent
