Wrappingindent is not working

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

It seems to me that the latest update of the Cursor IDE (or VS Code) has a bug. Used to be that wrapping ident was working perfectly, when a line wrap, it will indent to the position at the beginning of the line. Now, it’s all the way out in column 1 (far left) and it’s making the code unreadable. Tried multiple things and nothing works. :(. Don’t remember this happening last year (around Dec 21/22)

Steps to Reproduce

go into setting and set the wrappingindent to “Indent” and you will see nothing happened with the code.

Expected Behavior

the line should wrap and indent should kick in to align with the line

Operating System

Does this stop you from using Cursor

Yes - Cursor is unusable

Hey @Sherman_Chen!

I don’t think anything changed in Cursor. There is however some code in VS Code that forces wrappingIndent to "none" when accessibility support is enabled!

Could you try setting this in your VSCode settings?

"editor.accessibilitySupport": "off",

I finally sorted it out and have all the settings removed from cursor so it’s back to the default and re-do it. You are probably right VS Code did something that just messed up how I setup my IDE.

Thanks!
Sherman
