Describe the Bug

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open a codebase
  2. Type something in Cursor chat, reference some files

Does this stop you from using Cursor

Hey, thanks for the report.

This is a known issue. Cursor Tab autocomplete in chat doesn’t account for text coming from system dictation, so it treats it like normal keyboard input.

As a workaround, you can try disabling Cursor Tab autocomplete while you’re using dictation: Cursor Settings > Agents > Agent Autocomplete > disable. Not ideal, but it should stop the conflict.

I’ve passed this on to the team. No exact ETA yet, but your report helps us prioritize it.
