Does this stop you from using Cursor

Yes - Cursor is unusable

Download the latest from the main cursor.com do you still have the same issue, since the one on cursor.com is the latest stable build.

Yes I have now already uninstalled and reinstalled the latest build - still the same issue. Completely unuseable.

Actually IGNORE this - I am an idiot. I am still not used to v2 and when I pressed CTRL + B I saw my files.

No issues here.
