Describe the Bug

Bug Report: Cannot Select Newly Added Custom Models in Cursor IDE

Steps to Reproduce

'm encountering an issue in Cursor IDE when trying to use custom OpenAI models:
Navigated to Settings → Models → API Keys and configured my OpenAI API key.
Attempted to add a new custom model via the Add Model option.
After successfully creating the new model entry, I am unable to select or activate it from the model dropdown menu in the editor.
The new model appears in the list but is unclickable, preventing me from using it for code completions and chat. This issue persists after restarting the application.

Operating System

Windows 10/11
