Code Example

"terminal.integrated.mouseWheelScrollSensitivity": 0.1,
"terminal.integrated.smoothScrolling": true,
"terminal.integrated.fastScrollSensitivity": 1
RAW_BUFFERClick to expand / collapse

Bug Description

After updating Cursor to v3.0.13, scroll speed in the integrated terminal becomes extremely fast only when Claude Code TUI is running. The issue did not occur before this Cursor update.

Environment

  • Claude Code version: 2.1.97
  • Cursor version: 3.0.13
  • OS: macOS (Darwin 25.4.0)
  • Input device: MacBook trackpad

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open Cursor's integrated terminal
  2. Launch Claude Code (claude)
  3. Scroll with the MacBook trackpad

Expected Behavior

Scroll speed is comfortable and controllable — same as before the Cursor v3.0.x update.

Actual Behavior

Scrolling is extremely fast and difficult to control, making the TUI nearly unusable with the trackpad.

What Is NOT Affected

  • Normal terminal output scrolling (without Claude Code TUI running) → fine
  • Cursor's file editor scrolling → fine
  • Other macOS apps (browsers, chat tools) → fine

Attempted Fixes (No Effect)

"terminal.integrated.mouseWheelScrollSensitivity": 0.1,
"terminal.integrated.smoothScrolling": true,
"terminal.integrated.fastScrollSensitivity": 1

None of the above settings resolved the issue.

Notes

This appears to be a regression introduced in the Cursor v3.0.x update. Related closed issue: #3648

extent analysis

TL;DR

Downgrade Cursor to a version prior to v3.0.13 or wait for a patch release that addresses the scrolling issue with Claude Code TUI.

Guidance

  • Verify that the issue is indeed caused by the Cursor update by testing with a previous version of Cursor.
  • Check the Cursor changelog and release notes for v3.0.13 to see if there are any known issues or changes related to scrolling or trackpad input.
  • Test scrolling with a different input device (e.g., mouse) to determine if the issue is specific to the trackpad.
  • Consider reaching out to the Cursor developers or opening a new issue to report the regression and request a fix.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue is related to a specific version of Cursor and its interaction with Claude Code TUI.

Notes

The issue seems to be a regression introduced in the Cursor v3.0.x update, and the provided configuration changes did not resolve the issue. The problem is specific to the combination of Cursor v3.0.13 and Claude Code TUI.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Downgrade Cursor to a version prior to v3.0.13, as this is the most straightforward way to restore the previous scrolling behavior until a patch release is available.
