Calling `/summarize` while some work is being done stops it, instead of queueing it

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

Any other message you try to send while some work is being done, just queues that message to be sent afterwards. But when you call /summarize, it stops the current work on its tracks. And after summarized, it also does not continue the work from where it stopped, unless you send a new message asking it continue.

Steps to Reproduce

  • Send some long work to start working on…
  • Then while that is running, call /summarize
  • The current work stops :-1:
  • Send some long work to start working on…
  • Then while that is running, send a message with some more follow-up details.
  • The message gets queued, and the current works continues normally :+1:

Expected Behavior

My expectation would be that /summarize works like any other message/command. That it should get queued. And you could still choose to manually “send now”, to stop the current work more intentionally if you need.

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, thanks for the detailed report. This looks like a regression. Similar bugs with /summarize and the queue were fixed before, but it looks like the issue is back, or there’s a new edge case.

Can you share the Request ID? In the chat context menu (top right) choose Copy Request ID after you reproduce the bug one more time. That’ll help the team see what’s happening.

Also, can you confirm if this only happens with /summarize, or if other slash commands behave the same way?

Only seems to happen with `/summarize`, other custom commands get queued fine.
