also please update the base of VSCODE to latest
Hey, thanks for the report. From the screenshot, it looks like settings.json opens in an empty tab. That seems less like a full app crash and more like the editor isn’t rendering the file contents.
First, try this:
Cmd+Shift+P→ Developer: Reload Window. Empty editors like this usually come back after a reload.- Open settings via the command palette:
Cmd+Shift+P→ Preferences: Open User Settings (JSON), instead of clicking the file. This helps rule out a file association or handler issue.
If it’s still empty, I’ll need a bit more info to understand why:
- Your Cursor version (Help → About) and OS
- Whether Reload Window helps
- Rough size of
settings.json - Whether it reproduces when launching with
--disable-extensions - When the tab is empty, open Help → Toggle Developer Tools → Console and share what you see there. That’s usually the most useful for debugging.
Let me know how it goes after the reload and what the console shows.
