Selecting long text via a keyboard

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

Pressing shift up stops working if a line is too long

Steps to Reproduce

Put some test into a cursor agent chat window like the below. Press and hold shift to start selecting lines, then press up.

When the chat window is wide enough to not need to wrap the text, everything works as expected.

When there is a line long enough to need wrapping, pressing up will get “stuck” and be unable to move up.

Making the window wider, makes the cursor (ha) respond to the up key again.

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, thanks for the detailed report and the video, it makes the repro really clear.

This is a known issue with arrow key navigation in the chat input, especially when the text wraps to a new line. The team is aware. There’s no specific ETA for a fix yet, but your report helps us prioritize it.

I’ll post an update here if there’s any news.
