Hi @Hiroshi_Senou, thank you for the post and for the helpful video.

This looks like a Windows rendering issue we’ve seen before, and the best first step is to turn off hardware acceleration in Cursor and restart the app.

  1. Press Ctrl+Shift+P

  2. Run Preferences: Configure Runtime Arguments

  3. Add this line:

    {
  "disable-hardware-acceleration": true
}

  4. Close and restart Cursor

If this doesn’t solve the issue, let me know and I can recommend a few additional steps.

Hi @kevinn It seems that adding [“disable-hardware-acceleration”: true] has prevented the issue from occurring, so I’d like to keep this setting for now and monitor the situation.
I appreciate your kindly support, thanks.
