Describe the Bug

When generating code the first letter of a line will simply not be there. This seems to happen at random. For example, the first 2 lines will have the first letter cut of but the third wont. This sometimes includes deleting indentation.

Steps to Reproduce

I am doing is using the chat function as intended. So it shouldn’t be to hard to replicate. That being said I am using Windows if that helps. Also I am using claude 3.5 sonnet.

Expected Behavior

Not cut off the first letter of each line.

Screenshots / Screen Recordings

Operating System

Windows 10/11

Current Cursor Version (Menu → About Cursor → Copy)

Additional Information

None

Same issue.

[TechnoFrolics]

Same issue for me. (Happened periodically in earlier version(s) too.)

Temporary fix that appears, so far, to work:

ME: “There is a Cursor bug wherein first characters of lines in code blocks are being cut off. Because of that, could you “artificially” add 3 spaces at the beginning of every line and regenerate all above code blocks.”

CURSOR: “You’re right, I’ll add 3 spaces to the beginning of each line. Here’s the reformatted code:”

And it indeed did that (where 3 spaces got converted, in places, to 2 spaces…).
