Insufficient permissions on MacOS #2596

I’m encountering permission errors when trying to create or save files on macOS (version 15.2). Here’s what happens:

Initially, I see this error:
1.“Failed to save ‘file.tsx’: Insufficient permissions. Select ‘Retry as Sudo’ to retry as superuser.”*
When I click “Retry as Sudo,” I get a different error:
2.“Failed to save ‘file.tsx’: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open ‘/Applications/Cursor.app/Contents/Resources/Cursor.icns’”*
I noticed that in the /Resources path, there’s a file named icon.icns, not Cursor.icns. I tried renaming it to Cursor.icns, but the issue persists.

The Cursor app has full disk access, and all the directories involved have read-write privileges, so I’m unsure what’s causing this.

From what I understand, Cursor is a fork or wrapper around VS Code, so it seems like the permissions are being handled weird. Has anyone experienced this or found a fix?
