"Toolbar on selection" pops up despite setting toggled off

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

I’m using the Dance extension, which is an extension like the VSCodeVim extension in that it manipulates your cursor and selection using VSCode’s API.

I think some of these calls cause the “Toolbar on Selection” to popup, even though I have the setting toggled off in Cursor Settings > Chat > Inline Editing & Terminal.

Why is the code responsible for the toolbar being loaded at all? Not to sound harsh, but that’s not very resourceful. Cursor is too heavy as it is; I would expect that if this setting is toggled off, there are no further hooks into the editor’s cursor position/selection.

Steps to Reproduce

If I can find out which call is causing it (if the Dance extension/selection APIs are indeed the culprit) I’ll add it as information in a comment below!

Expected Behavior

The toolbar does not pop up

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue
