### Where does the bug appear (feature/product)? Cursor IDE ### 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.
