Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

ah, this response was just copied from the previous request:

e80cc5a6-bf85-4b54-893e-da1efb41755d

Thanks for the screenshots - they make it clear. This is a known issue we’re actively investigating: the agent runs the correct tool calls for your current request (your screenshot shows the right searches running), but the final text it writes back is pulled from an earlier turn in the conversation. So the work it does is right; the message it returns addresses a previous prompt.

It’s intermittent and shows up more in longer conversations, which lines up with what you’ve seen. It isn’t tied to a specific model. No fix has shipped yet, but it’s a high priority for the team.

If it happens again, the most useful thing you can send is a per-message Request ID: open the three-dot (“…”) menu on that specific response and choose Copy Request ID, then paste it here. That lets us inspect exactly what went wrong on that turn (the conversation IDs from before didn’t surface anything on our side). Note that for us to see the conversation content, the request needs to have been made with Share Data enabled rather than Privacy Mode - details here: Reporting a bug.

I’ll keep this connected to what we’re tracking so you’re updated when there’s progress.

I can not enable it, this is set up by company.
