No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, thanks for the report.

Important: Ask is read-only and doesn’t change files. For modifications, switch to Agent or Plan:

To understand why Ask loops instead of replying:

  • Share 2–3 recent Request IDs from the stuck conversation (chat menu top right > Copy Request ID)
  • Console logs: Help > Toggle Developer Tools > Console, reproduce the hang and copy errors
  • The model where it reproduces (e.g., Composer 1, Sonnet 4.5, GPT, etc.)
  • Check if it reproduces in Agent mode with the same prompt
  • Run without extensions: from terminal cursor --disable-extensions and check

Send the info above and we’ll attach it to the investigation.

I understand that ask is read-only, but sometimes I mistakenly use it when I want to use agent mode, and in these cases the model should not hang forever.
