1.7.11: Canceling or killing the (Agent?) console leaves zombie processes

Support Bug Reports
1

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

When debugging a web application by an Agent using Vite, I had to manually interrupt the process in the console via “Cancel” in the Agent’s Chat because of https://forum.cursor.com/t/1-7-11-the-agents-terminal-stopped-accepting-keyboard-interrupt/135103.
After that, I killed the console in the console list. After that, the web application server remained alive.

Steps to Reproduce

@Artemonim thank you for the report. I forwarded details to the team.

@Artemonim could you share more info as we are unable to reproduce it:

  • Did that occur while connected by ssh into another machine?
  • Are you by any chance using devcontainers?
  • Which shell are you using?
  • Could you post a Request ID with privacy disabled so we can look into the details? Getting a Request ID | Cursor Docs

In version 1.6.x, I had almost no problems with the console. Except that it was sometimes arbitrarily closed when there was some kind of lengthy debugging process.

And it doesn’t die even if you close the Cursor IDE that launch them.

The problem was also reproduced with the usual PowerShell script: Agent ran the command, I stopped Agent, Agent’s terminal interface says “Cancelled”, but in fact the script continued to work untraceably until it stopped on its own.

I believe that the problem that leads to the inability to stop Agent should have the highest priority, and should not remain in the Early Preview for 22 patches.

This is a debugging script for a real physical device, so I could indirectly track the process by CPU usage during assembly and by the screen of the connected device.

@condor I had to roll back to 1.6.46 to keep using Cursor. I’d appreciate it if you could let me know once my bug report and whole read-only terminal is fixed
