Cursor IDE
Describe the Bug
Description:
The “Select Element” feature in Cursor IDE no longer allows selecting multiple elements simultaneously as it did previously. When attempting to select multiple DOM elements using the CSS selector, only the last clicked element remains selected, overwriting previous selections.
Expected Behavior:
- Ability to select multiple DOM elements using Shift+Click or Cmd/Ctrl+Click
- All selected elements should be added to the chat simultaneously
- Previous selections should be maintained when clicking on new elements
Actual Behavior:
- Only the last clicked element is selected
- Previous selections are lost when clicking on a new element
- It’s not possible to add multiple elements to the chat in a single selection session
Steps to Reproduce
- Open a web application in Cursor’s integrated browser
- Activate the “Select Element” feature (CSS selector)
- Attempt to select multiple elements using Shift+Click or Cmd+Click
- Observe that only the last selected element remains in the selection
Expected Behavior
This bug appears to be related to the recent update that incorporated the visual editor. The issue has been reported by other users on the Cursor community forum.
