Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?
Cursor IDE
Describe the Bug
In rare cases, Legacy Terminal freezes after executing a command. This is an old bug, and one of the reasons Cursor Team created a new terminal.
I’m not asking for this bug to be fixed, but the problem is that if you simply press Enter inside the terminal, the terminal will finished, but the Agent will receive an empty output. In other words, he will not receive the entire output from start of running his command, but only the output of the last terminal command.
Steps to Reproduce
A chaotic Legacy Terminal bug that does not depend on a specific output.
Expected Behavior
User presses Enter in the frozen terminal, the terminal closes with exit 0 and the Agent receives the output of its command (the output of the last two terminal commands).
