Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, thanks for the report.

It looks like the Agent terminal got stuck at a heredoc prompt. This usually happens when the shell interprets quotes or special characters in a way that keeps it waiting for more input.

Could you clarify:

  • Which shell are you using (zsh, bash, or something else)?
  • Can you reproduce this consistently, or was it a one-time thing?
  • The request ID from that chat (Chat context menu in the top-right corner > Copy request ID)

Also, does pressing Ctrl+C in the terminal help cancel the stuck command so you can keep working?
