Difficult to explain this one but was able to reproduce it twice:
Using Cursor version 0.47.5. Using Agent mode “Auto” to edit a python file I’ve edited countless times before. Asked it for a basic change.
Instead of editing the .py file (e.g. filename.py), it instead created an entirely new file with the prefix “python:filename.py” in the same filesystem folder. In it, started a continuous infinite loop generation of
# ... existing code ...
# ... existing code ...
# ... existing code ...
Had to stop generation both times.
Workaround was to specify a model instead of “Auto”, used Claude 3.7 (unfortunately I don’t know what model it was actually using in Auto mode)
