Unclickable "Tab to <file>" floating indicator

Describe the Bug

Whenever a “Tab to ” button appears hovering at the bottom of the editor screen, the tab key becomes unresponsive and the hovering button/dialog is un-clickable and un-closeable. It seems like this is part of the multi-file tab-complete feature, but it does not work whatsoever. Every time this happens i have to force reload window or it’s just stuck there.

Steps to Reproduce

Seems to happen when there is a pending tab complete in an open file tab but then you change a filename where that tab complete is. So then when you bring up that still-open-but-renamed-file tab, you get that floater that doesn’t go away.

Expected Behavior

Expecting it to do something or at least to be able to close it. Ideally a settings toggle would disable this “feature” altogether.

Does this stop you from using Cursor

Sometimes - I can sometimes use Cursor

example screenshot:

This issue is happened to me multiple times. Sometimes when you’re hooked to the flow and write code fast enough, Cursor won’t even recognize the file you’ve just duplicated and renamed.

It’d be better that if “Tab to file” feature is checking whether if the file is exists in advance, then jumps into that corresponding file. Otherwise, dismiss the feature.
