Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, thanks for the report. Since this only happens on your desktop Mac and reinstalling didn’t help, it’s likely a corrupted cache or settings file (reinstalling doesn’t remove your user data folder).

Try the following:

Fully remove Cursor:

  • Windows: %APPDATA%\Cursor\User
  • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Cursor
  • Linux: ~/.config/Cursor

This will remove extensions and settings, so you might want to export your profile first.

If reinstalling doesn’t help:

Check console errors: open DevTools, go to the Console tab, then try clicking the model selector. Please share any red errors.

Let me know what happens after a full reinstall of Cursor.

Thank you for the help. That worked for me.
