Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

When I update Cursor, it tends to reset and reopen. For the first few seconds, it does something strange with the rendering, and when it appears to “stabilize,” the experience simply isn’t the same as before. Especially with the fonts

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Update to 2.4.36

  2. Notice that the fonts now have a kind of blur

Expected Behavior

It should have the same sharpness as before.

Operating System

Windows 11

Current Cursor Version (Menu → About Cursor → Copy)

Version: 2.4.36 (user setup)
VSCode Version: 1.105.1

Does this stop you from using Cursor

Not exactly, but there comes a point when it becomes annoying and strains your eyes.
