Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?
Cursor IDE
Describe the Bug
Reproducible Failure: In the same remote (SSH) workspace, the agent successfully executes shell commands only in the first chat window opened. Subsequent chat windows fail 100% of the time, likely due to a corruption of the shared remote agent environment/process pool.
Opening a new folder (project) makes Agent shell commands work again for first window only, but opening new chat window and asking it to run pwd, results in 100% failure rate. pwd command just returns failure, only the command is echoed, but not executed.
Renaming folder also makes Agent shell commands work again for first chat window only.
Does not happen in WSL or Local session.
This started happening after latest Cursor update. Enabling legacy terminal does not fix the issue.
Remote SSH host info:
Arch Linux
Bash Shell
Fails on other SSH remotes as well, tested with another Arch and Ubuntu.
If I close the folder, and ask Agent to run pwd, it works on first and all future chat windows.
Steps to Reproduce
- Open a folder using Remote SSH
- Ask agent to run pwd on first chat window - works
- Ask agent to run pwd on second chat windows - 100% failure
- Ask agent to run pwd on first chat window again - works
Expected Behavior
Err, supposed to run successfully?

Additional Information
Output from dev console, you can see first successful run execute and end successfully. Then opening a new chat window results in failure. Returning to first windows, and asking it to run pwd again works.

Does this stop you from using Cursor
Sometimes - I can sometimes use Cursor
