Hey, thanks for the report. I can see the video has artifacts. This looks like a GPU rendering issue in the Chromium layer. We had a similar report last week that was fixed by updating GPU drivers: Cursor Visual IDE Breaking Bug

Two options:

  1. Update your GPU drivers. This solved it in the previous case with an NVIDIA RTX 3060.

  2. Disable hardware acceleration. Start Cursor with the --disable-gpu flag, or in Cursor Settings search for Disable Hardware Acceleration.

What GPU are you using, and what driver version are you on? Let me know if either option helps.

still happening after the new release.

Hey @Adwin_Ho, try turning off hardware acceleration:

  1. Ctrl+Shift+P > Preferences: Configure Runtime Arguments
  2. Add:
    {
  "disable-hardware-acceleration": true
}
  3. Fully close and relaunch Cursor

This fixed a similar issue here: The display will become distorted

If it doesn’t help, send your Cursor version, GPU model, and driver version, and we can dig deeper.

I have added –disable-gpu argument in the shorcut. Worked.
