Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

Cursor 2.6.22 is rendering unreadable text when responding with numbers. Image attached.

Per Cursor’s response:

“The dollar signs were triggering LaTeX math rendering — I’ll escape them or just write “USD 340” style going forward. My bad.”

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open Cursor IDE
2. Ask a mathematical reasoning question which will require a response with numbers from Cursor.
3. Look for unreadable text

Expected Behavior

Text is properly formatted

Operating System

MacOS

Does this stop you from using Cursor

Hi @jonassteinberg1 Thanks for reporting. We’ve fixed this bug in a newer version of Cursor (looks like you’re on an older version!). If you update your Cursor app, you’ll see this has been solved.
