### Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

### Describe the Bug

The language server crashes pretty much every time the agent makes a change.

You get pop up errors;  
Client Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.LanguageServer: connection to server is erroring. write EOF Shutting down server.  
Client Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.LanguageServer: connection to server is erroring. write EOF

And in the output window

```

### Steps to Reproduce

1. Ask an gent to make some changes
2. When it applies the changes the language server crashes

### Expected Behavior

I shouldn’t have to reload the window every time the agent makes a change to my code just so I can have intellisense.

### Operating System

Windows 10/11

### Does this stop you from using Cursor

Yes - Cursor is unusable

I pretty much cannot use Cursor because of this bug. It is recent and happened within the last 7 days.

Hey, thanks for the detailed report with logs, everything’s clear.

From the stack trace, it looks like when applying changes the Cursor agent sends a duplicate `textDocument/didOpen` for files that are already open, and that crashes Roslyn. That’s a bug on our side. I’ve shared it with the team, your report will help us prioritize it.

For now, here are a couple workarounds:

1. After the server crash, try `Restart Language Server` from the Command Palette using `Ctrl+Shift+P` instead of doing a full reload window, it should be faster.
2. Try closing all open .cs files before starting the agent, that might reduce the chance of a conflict since the files won’t be in an already open state.

Let me know if any of this helps even a bit.
