Cursor IDE
Describe the Bug
The agent seems stuck and when I try to restart the cursor, it always says connection failed, no matter how many times of restart. I copy the log and it shows like this:

What the heck? I did not do anything I just restart the cursor and it seems like it somehow paste whatever strange strings into my log in command. This is countless time that it happened. The last time it happened I re-install the anywhere remote ssh and downgrade the version. This time it dose not work. I really need to complain about the stablity of your software sucks terrible.
Steps to Reproduce
Just restart the cursor and click my history log in command.
Expected Behavior
It should enter my server and show all the files.
