Unable to paste content from Notepad into Cursor using Ctrl + V

Bug Reports
1

Description:

I encountered an issue while using the Cursor where I could not paste content copied from Notepad into the Cursor using the Ctrl + V shortcut. The same issue occurs when trying to paste via the right-click menu. However, pasting works as expected in other applications like Word or a web browser.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Open Notepad and type any text, for example: Hello, world!.
  2. Use Ctrl + C to copy the text.
  3. Switch to Cursor and try to paste the copied text using Ctrl + V.
  4. Observe that nothing happens.
  5. (Optional) Try right-clicking in the Cursor and selecting “Paste”—it also does not work.

Expected Behavior:

The copied text from Notepad should appear in the Cursor editor after using Ctrl + V or selecting “Paste” from the right-click menu.

Actual Behavior:

The paste operation does not work. There is no response after pressing Ctrl + V or using the right-click “Paste” option.

Environment:

  • Operating System: (e.g., Windows 10, macOS Ventura 13.4)
  • Cursor Version: (e.g., 0.10.2)
  • Additional Information:
    • The issue only occurs in Cursor. Copy-pasting works fine in other applications.
    • No keyboard shortcuts or other system settings have been modified.

Troubleshooting Steps Taken:

  1. Restarted the Cursor application.
  2. Tested with different text copied from Notepad.
  3. Verified that the clipboard works correctly by pasting into other applications (e.g., Word, browsers).
  4. Checked for any system permissions restricting clipboard access.
  5. Ensured that Cursor is updated to the latest version.

Additional Notes:

If this is a known issue or if Cursor has specific requirements for handling clipboard content, please let me know. I would appreciate any guidance or workaround to resolve this issue.

Optional:

If needed, I can provide screenshots or a screen recording to demonstrate the issue.
