Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, thanks for the report and the screen recording. I tried to reproduce the issue, but I couldn’t get the same behavior.

A few questions to help narrow it down:

  • Are you using a mouse or a trackpad to select text?
  • Does this happen in every chat, or only in long conversations when you scroll up?
  • Does restarting Cursor help?

Any extra details about the conditions when this happens would be helpful. Thanks!
