After updating ChatGPT Atlas today (Nov 6 2025), the cursor no longer changes to a hand (cursor: pointer) when hovering over links or clickable elements. The issue appeared immediately after the update and is reproducible on multiple Macs. Click actions still work normally — only the visual cursor feedback is gone. **Environment:** - **macOS version:** 15 (Tahoe) 26.0 - **ChatGPT Atlas build:** latest (updated Nov 6 2025) - **Devices tested:** two Macs — identical result - **Connection type:** local (desktop, not remote session) **Steps to reproduce:** 1. Update Atlas to the most recent build. 2. Open any chat or webpage within Atlas. 3. Hover over any link, button, or interactive element. **Expected result:** The cursor changes to the pointer over interactive elements. **Actual result:** The cursor remains as the default arrow, even though the element still responds to clicks. ---

I believe this is not only a cursor-style regression. Many Chrome extensions that rely on combined mouse + keyboard interactions also stop working inside Atlas. Two examples I’ve personally confirmed: - **Immersive Translate** : key-modifier + hover events do not fire at all. - **Linkclump Plus** : key-modifier + mouse drag over multiple links fails to trigger bulk-open behavior. Both extensions work normally in Chrome and other Chromium-based browsers. The failures only occur within the current Atlas build. ---

I’m on version 1.2026.84.2 (2d96d336e8e), and I still have this bug. Is anyone else still having this problem?
