As you can see clearly, when I make selection on user req prompt inside Cursor IDE terminal, it's giving me trouble to visualize the selection effect, but it works well on MacOS terminal, VS Code, Windsurf, and so on.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

  1. Download Cursor
  2. Set your coding IDE to dark color
  3. Cmd + J for terminal and make selection for your prompt.

What is the expected behavior?

The text selection should appear so that user can see where their curr selection is.
