Bug Report: Empty command in assistant interface

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

The command input field in the Cursor assistant interaction panel appears empty when it should show a command or placeholder. “Skip” and “Run” buttons are visible, but the field displays no text.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Use the Cursor assistant (e.g. Composer / agent).
  2. Trigger an action that would show a command or prompt (e.g. run a tool, approve a step).
  3. Observe the interaction panel where the command would be displayed.

Expected Behavior

The input field should show the command to be run (or a clear placeholder/label) so the user knows what will happen when clicking “Run”.

Actual behavior

The command input field is completely empty. The user cannot see what command corresponds to the “Run” button, making it unclear what will be executed.

Does this stop you from using Cursor

Sometimes - I can sometimes use Cursor

Hey, thanks for the report. This is a known issue. The command confirmation UI sometimes doesn’t show the actual command text. The Run and Skip buttons are visible, but the command field is empty. We’ve gotten a few similar reports across different versions and platforms.
