I’ve noticed an issue while using Ask Mode and it is coming in many accounts used in my organization. Even when Ask Mode is selected, Cursor sometimes enters a loop where it starts analyzing and attempting to implement code, similar to Agent Mode, despite not having access to it.
Interestingly, when I explicitly mention in the prompt that it is not in Agent Mode, the behavior becomes correct and it responds as expected for Ask Mode.
This makes me think there may be some confusion in how the mode context is being interpreted, even when the mode is set correctly in the UI.
Sharing this in case it helps identify and fix the issue. Please let me know if you need any additional details or reproduction steps.
Thanks
Steps to Reproduce
If you told it to create code for a specific module with some context then it start behving like this. This behaviour comes 3-4 times from 10 cases, but when it start behaving like this then it only stop when i tell it that you are in ask mode.
Example Prompt : need to open this mdoal component when user clikc on nav menu locationclick on the location (as you can see in the sceocn detail), do creaet this address selection and adddress pick ui in the d2c-ui and use it into the fs mobile and check for the header component where i will add the click logic to open this modal, This modal will open from the bottom with smooth transition animation, analyze this and create this first with hard coded data, then i will give you api and their response, also when user click on “Use your current location” then take access from teh user lcoatino and fetch their lat and long, so that we can access user exact location, to call our addresss api.
Is this loop analysis consume the tokens consistently, if yes then this must be resolved on priority ?
Yes, when i tell him explicitly then it work fine.
