Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Yikes. Thanks, I can reproduce that as well. Flagging this for the team!

Thanks, encountering an issue like this that seems to have come up quite often, with no real solution, makes me worried about my environment and potential issues cropping up further down the line. There’s just so many things that can go wrong.. lol
