Agents Hang in One Project Only

Support Bug Reports

Hey, thanks for the detailed report. Since the hang only happens in one specific project and other projects work fine over the same SSH connection, this is most likely a project indexing or project context issue, not a network issue.

A few things to try:

  1. Reindex the project: This has already helped other users with the same symptom (related thread).

  2. Test a subfolder: Try opening only a subfolder of the project to see if the issue is related to project size or specific files at the root level.

  3. Check for unusual files: Does this project have very large files, symlinks, or unusual directory structures compared to the working ones? Also check for a .cursorignore file or any MCP configs.

  4. Quick extension test: Since you’re using Remote SSH, try starting Cursor with extensions disabled to rule out extension issues:

    cursor --disable-extensions

    Then connect over SSH and open the same project.

  5. Disable HTTP/2 as an extra check: Add this to settings.json:

    "cursor.general.disableHttp2": true

    Then restart Cursor.

Let me know how it goes.
