Does this stop you from using Cursor

No

Hi @sjain-profluent,

I haven’t been able to reproduce this on 3.7 or the upcoming 3.8.

Are you using any custom theming? For instance, your titlebar appears to look different from mine:

If you could share any customizations from your VSCode settings (Cmd + Shift + P > Open User Settings (JSON)), that would help us get to the bottom of this!

Hi

Here is my user settings:

{
    "window.autoDetectColorScheme": true,
    "workbench.preferredLightColorTheme": "Default Light Modern",
    "editor.fontSize": 15,
    "terminal.integrated.fontSize": 15,
    "redhat.telemetry.enabled": false,
    "vs-kubernetes": {
        "vs-kubernetes.suppress-helm-not-found-alerts": true,
        "vs-kubernetes.crd-code-completion": "disabled"
    },

Thanks @sjain-profluent

Even with those settings, I still can’t reproduce!

Would you mind removing those settings temporarily to see if you can reproduce the issue without them?

Hi

I tried with removing all settings and the issue still persists. Note the issue seems to be cursor specific since I checked standard vscode on the same laptop and it doesn’t seem to have this issue.

Hey @sjain-profluent!

Was finally able to reproduce. The key is having the Cursor-specific Title Bar turned off (Cursor Settings → General → Layout → Title Bar). That’s what was different between your setup and mine.

With the title bar hidden, maximizing the panel and filling the terminal pushes the prompt below the bottom edge of the screen with no way to scroll down. Turning the title bar back on makes it behave normally again.

I’ve filed this internally! In the meantime, the workaround is to either re-enable the title bar, or un-maximize the panel to bring the prompt back into view.
