Quick Fix lightbulb appears but click does nothing (Cmd+. works)

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

The Quick Fix (code actions) lightbulb appears in the gutter next to lines with diagnostics or fixes, but clicking it does nothing. The keyboard shortcut Cmd + . (Quick Fix) works and opens the same menu. The same click-on-lightbulb flow works in VS Code. So code actions and the command are fine; only the lightbulb widget’s click handler appears broken in Cursor.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open any file that has a quick fix available (e.g. unused import, fixable lint, or error with a code action).
  2. Place the cursor on that line so the yellow Quick Fix lightbulb appears in the gutter.
  3. Click the lightbulb with the mouse.
    Result: Nothing happens. Using Cmd + . on the same line opens the Quick Fix menu as expected.

Expected Behavior

Clicking the lightbulb should open the Quick Fix / Code Actions menu, same as pressing Cmd + . (editor.action.quickFix). This is how it works in VS Code.

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, thanks for the detailed report.

A couple of things that’ll help narrow this down:

  1. Does the same issue happen if you launch Cursor with extensions disabled? You can test by running cursor --disable-extensions in your terminal.
  2. Which language or extension is providing the Quick Fix on your side? For example, TypeScript built-in, ESLint, Pylance, etc.

This will help us figure out if it’s a Cursor-level issue with the lightbulb widget or something extension-specific.

Let me know how it goes.
