Markdown preview does not allow horizontal scrolling for wide tables

[posaune0423 (Asuma Yamada)]

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

In Cursor’s default Markdown preview, tables that are wider than the window are not horizontally scrollable. As a result, the right side of the table is cut off and cannot be viewed.

Steps to Reproduce

• 1. Open a Markdown file in Cursor.
• 2. Add or open a table that is wider than the preview window.
• 3. Open the default Markdown preview.
• 4. Try to view the right side of the table.

Expected Behavior

• The Markdown preview should allow horizontal scrolling for tables that exceed the window width, so the entire table content can be viewed.

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, thanks for the report. The repro steps and screenshot are clear, so the issue is easy to see.

I flagged this with the team.

As a workaround for now, you can try the “Markdown: Open Preview to the Side”, but it probably has the same limitation. Another option is a Markdown extension like “Markdown Preview Enhanced”, which might handle wide tables better with overflow-x: scroll.

Let me know if you need anything else.

thanks for the quick reply!

yeah, this is not critical bug so this would be sort of feature request rather than bug repot.
