Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?
Cursor IDE
Describe the Bug
This is a recent UI bug that occurs when I chat in the Agent mode and the Cursor agent shows the following two panels:
- P1: The “Run Command” seeking permission to run a command, with options to “Skip”, “Allowlist”, or “Run” (clickable buttons).
- P2: The “n Files Edited” panel right above the chat input panel with options to “Stop” or “Review”, again via clickable buttons.
The issue is that all the three clickable buttons in P1 get covered by the panel P2, and there’s a very small area on the top (almost 20%) that’s clickable.
I tried to resize the panel’s width, but it doesn’t work each time.
Steps to Reproduce
-
On macOS, create a new empty directory, e.g.
./repos/test_project/. -
Open Cursor IDE.
-
From the top menu, select File → New Window.
-
Click Open Project, and choose the
test_projectdirectory. -
In the right-side AI pane (toggle it on if hidden), switch to Agent Mode.
-
In the prompt box, enter:
Create and run a shell script to echo "Hello World!". Deliberately keep introducing errors. -
Press Enter. The agent generates a script (e.g.
hello.sh) containing deliberate errors. -
When prompted for permission to run
chmod +x hello.sh, click Run. -
The agent repeatedly attempts to execute
hello.sh; each attempt fails due to the introduced errors, and Cursor keeps requesting permission. Keep clicking Run. -
Eventually, the Run Command panel slides to the bottom of the AI pane and overlaps the “1 File Edited” translucent panel.
-
As a result, the Run button becomes inaccessible.
This UI overlap is the bug.
Expected Behavior
The Run Command panel should never overlap with the “1 File Edited” panel and the latter should be its own, independent container.
