Does this stop you from using Cursor

Hey, thanks for the detailed report and screenshot, that makes the issue clear. When you select the first lines, the selection toolbar Add to Chat / Quick Edit renders above the selection and hits the top bar, so it gets clipped. I’ve shared this with the team.

For now, here are a couple of workarounds:

  • The shortcuts still work even if the toolbar is clipped. Use Cmd+K for Quick Edit and Cmd+L for Add to Chat.
  • If the toolbar is in the way, you can disable it: Cursor Settings > Agents > Inline Editing & Terminal > Toolbar on Selection.

I can’t share an ETA yet, but I’ll reply in the thread when there’s an update.
