Crashing due to possible memory leak?

Bug Report

My Cursor app crashes when generating responses in Chat (gets very slow and then crashes), or just interacting with the menu. I’ve tried a reinstall and updating but the issue persists.

I removed and reinstalled Cursor a few times. Doesn’t resolve the issue. CPU percentage sometimes goes over 600% in activity monitor.

Do you see an error message or anything when the crash occurs?

The window terminated unexpectedly (reason: ‘crashed’, code: ‘5’)

Hey, try booting in safe mode with: cursor --disable-extensions, and see if it stops the crashing. Usually, one or a combination of extensions causes this issue, but an our of the box installation should hopefully work fine.

Thanks Dan for your help
