I was going to create a new thread but then I found this. I’m having the same issue…

I’ve found that the menu bar that normally appears across the top (“File, Edit, Selection, View, Go, Run, Terminal, Help”), and the top bar that contains the buttons (to minimise, maximise and the close “X”) are missing in 0.48.x.

I normally have it set to toggle by using "window.menuBarVisibility": "toggle". But changing or removing this setting doesn’t seem to change anything.

Cursor version: 0.48.6 and 0.48.7
OS: Kubuntu 24.04

version 0.48.7:

version 0.47.9:

I’ve reverted back to using 0.47.9 for now. This issue does stop me from using version 0.48.x.

Same problem here, had to reverse to 0.47.9
I am on Linux Mint

Does changing these settings help?

Yep. It’s the only combination of the settings, which works for me now.
With the native title bar I can not see the menu bar or turn it on with Alt key (maybe because Alt key behavior changed too, I don’t know)

I’m on Linux too (popos) and I have same problem. Please fix it!

Hi… did you try the solution mentioned above? It worked for me.

Same issue when building an update to 0.48.8 for nixos – the menu bar is gone.

I try to keep the app up to date in nixpkgs, but not until I know this issue has been handled.

P.S. Is this a side-effect of the gnome “double titlebar” fix?

This worked for me as well. What settings do I change it back to once Cursor AI re-fixes their product? I forgot to write the original settings down.
