Describe the Bug

The options in the upper right corner are all black and invisible.

Steps to Reproduce

After some use, particularly after zooming in and out, the background of the options at the top‑right becomes black and thus invisible. I have not been able to determine the exact trigger, but the issue occurs frequently.

Hey @chen_chen1 thanks for the report! You shouldn’t be seeing that.

Quick fix when it happens: reload the window (Ctrl+Shift+P → Developer: Reload Window) or reset the zoom (Ctrl+Numpad0) to bring the controls back.

To stop it recurring, turn off hardware acceleration:

1. Ctrl+Shift+P → Preferences: Configure Runtime Arguments
2. Add "disable-hardware-acceleration": true inside the { } and save
3. Fully quit Cursor (not just reload) and reopen

If it still happens after that, reply with a full-window screenshot at 100% zoom plus your Help → About version and we’ll dig in.

Thank you for your reply, but I am still experiencing this issue. The options in the top-right corner are still covered by a black overlay. I am using the latest version of Cursor, 3.20.10. This issue has persisted since two versions ago, and the recent updates haven’t improved it.
