Hi, I’ve noticed that the agent terminal is now read-only, and this has become a problem. Many times, the agent successfully starts a server, but it doesn’t kill the process when needed. Since I can’t run commands directly in the agent’s terminal anymore, I have to manually find the process running…

yeah. I today wondered if cursor is made with cursor :wink: As bugs look familiar to what sometimes happen in the project, if not to control every step :wink: So I finished with following algorithm: When (not if, but when - as it definitely HAPPENS) terminal jump to read only mode. I close cursor,…

The User Experience we deserve :clap::clap::clap:

true. it’s the typical 2-3 monopolies type of problem. The “what are you gonna do? leave?” Because they still profit so much that they can afford becoming worse.

When I switch by Ctrl+E to agent window mode - terminals in this mode are read only. when I switch back to “old way” chats - terminal works. Also it’s very funny to read introduction to agent window mode - “you may focus on chats, work in terminal and code editor if needed”. Hah.

Finally! Issue has been resolved in Version: 1.7.33 :rocket:

I work in 1.7.33 as I told - I had one time bug reappear, but since then it works. Though in agent window mode (ctrl+e switch to better view) - terminals are read only initially (and not bash) So it’s “workarounded” - not fixed indeed unfortunately.

come on Cursor team, just add an option to disable this s***

On 1.7.36 and opening agent chat in window mode does not fix this issue.

I downgraded to 1.5 1.5 works great, just downgrade version and keep working
