Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

When the skills menu is open in the agent input, using the Up/Down arrow keys updates the active selection, but the menu does not automatically scroll to keep the selected option visible. If the active option moves beyond the visible portion of the menu, it remains out of view, making keyboard navigation difficult to follow.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Focus the agent input field.
  2. Type / and wait for the skills menu to appear.
  3. Use the Up and Down arrow keys to navigate through the menu options.
  4. Continue navigating until the active selection moves beyond the visible portion of the menu.
  5. Observe that the menu does not automatically scroll to keep the active option in view.

Expected Behavior

As the active selection moves past the visible portion, the skills menu should automatically scroll so the selected option remains visible during keyboard navigation.

Hey, thanks for the detailed report. The steps, version, and screen recording really helped, the issue is clear right away.

Confirmed, this is a bug on our side. The slash menu updates the selection when you navigate with the arrow keys, but it doesn’t scroll the container to keep the active item in view, so it goes out of the visible area. I’ve filed it internally.

I can’t share an ETA for the fix yet. I’ll post an update in the thread when I have one.
