### Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

### Describe the Bug

I have added 2 projects into my workspace and wanted to work with any Agent in both projects. Happening with all Agents I tried (Opus 4.5, Gpt 5.1 codes max extra heigh fast). Both projects work with agents when run in single workspaces/single windows.

When having both projects in one workspace, the agent starts and flips back. So there is no feedback, no error nothing.

Its for all modes (Plan, Agent, Ask)

### Steps to Reproduce

Place 2 projects into 1 workspace and start an agent to interact with them.

### Expected Behavior

Agent should start working.

### Operating System

MacOS

Hey, thanks for the report. We see several regressions in version 2.1.50 and we’re working on a fix.

It looks like a path handling bug in multi-project workspaces: [Constant "path should be a `path.relative()`d string" error](https://forum.cursor.com/t/constant-path-should-be-a-path-relative-d-string-error/145801)

This is still an issue, can’t really get my work done at all.
