Touch scrolling in Agent chat — feasible (works in VS Code + Claude Code on same device)

Feature request for product/service

Cursor IDE

Describe the request

Not a duplicate report for closure — additional evidence: touch works in VS Code + Claude Code on the same hardware (2026).

Summary

Please add touch-screen scroll support for the AI/Agent conversation pane (input + output) on Windows.

Related threads were closed or merged as a “known limitation” (e.g. #157737 merged into #150325). I am opening a new feature request with additional reproduction data from 2026.

Problem

On a Windows 11 touch laptop, finger scrolling does not work in:

  • Classic IDE: Agent / AI chat (input + output)
  • Agents Window: agent conversation view

It does work in other parts of Cursor (e.g. file/editor area, agent list — per related reports) and in other apps on the same machine.

Why this looks feasible (not “touch hardware broken”)

Environment Agent / chat touch scroll
Google Chrome Works
VS Code + Claude Code extension Works
Cursor — editor / file area Works
Cursor — agent list (Agents Window) Works
Cursor — agent conversation (classic + Agents Window) Does not work

So on the same PC, touch scrolling works in VS Code’s agent/chat UI but not in Cursor’s agent conversation UI. This suggests a Cursor-specific gap, not a general Windows or Electron limitation on this device.

Hardware (DxDiag summary, 2026-05-20)

  • Lenovo 21NXCTO1WW
  • Windows 11 Pro 64-bit, Build 26200
  • Internal display 1920×1200, 150% DPI
  • Intel Core Ultra 5 225H, 32GB RAM
  • HIDI2C touch devices present; DxDiag Input: No problems found

Steps to reproduce

  1. Windows 11 touch laptop, Cursor 3.1.x.
  2. Open an agent conversation (classic side panel or Agents Window).
  3. Try finger scroll on the conversation area → no scroll.
  4. Same machine: VS Code + Claude Code chat → finger scroll works.

Expected behavior

Finger touch scrolling in the agent conversation pane, similar to VS Code + Claude Code and other Cursor panes.

Cursor version

Version: 3.1.14 (system setup)
VSCode Version: 1.105.1

Electron: 39.8.1
Chromium: 142.0.7444.265
OS: Windows_NT x64 10.0.26200

Impact

No — I can use mouse/trackpad. Touch would make long agent output easier to read on a touch laptop.
