[CLI] Cursor-agent scrolls endlessly

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor CLI

Describe the Bug

Sometimes, possibly when the conversation is too long, but it also seemed to happen when the agent was struggling with edits that were not yielding the results it expected, the TUI starts to glitch: it scrolls, then resets, then scrolls, then resets, etc. until the agent is done replying.

Steps to Reproduce

This is not very clear. It happened very specifically on a pretty big TypeScript codebase, but for now I haven’t had this problem on other codebases.

Expected Behavior

The TUI should remain still and scroll only when new text appears.

Operating System

Linux

Current Cursor Version (Menu → About Cursor → Copy)

$cursor-agent -v
2025.08.25-896bbe1

Does this stop you from using Cursor
