Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, thanks for the report. A similar issue was already reported here Resolve in Merge editor does nothing and in that case it went away on its own after a day or two.

To help narrow it down, can you check a couple things:

  • Do you have any Git extensions installed like GitLens, Git Graph, etc? If yes, try disabling them and test again.
  • Open Developer Tools via Help > Toggle Developer Tools, reproduce the bug, then send any errors from the Console tab.
  • Is this a merge, rebase, or cherry-pick conflict?

If it’s still happening, share what the console shows and it’ll help us figure out the cause.
