Describe the Bug
After upgrading to the latest version, I can see my agent not moving forward with next step post executing the command in terminal (attached image). Every time I end up in clicking “move to background” button to force my agent to move step instead of hung in previous step for long time. Earlier it was smooth; not sure what happened in recent version. Please fix this issue ASAP. If anyone face similar issue give your “likes” so that cursor team give priority for this ticket.
Steps to Reproduce
- ask agent to run some terminal command one by one then you can see this issue.
Expected Behavior
agent hung and it wont move forward to next step.

Same experience here, thanks for the report! Note FWIW: I am connecting from Portugal
Same here. Iirc, it was two versions ago that worked well, but ever since the recent updates new chats, different networks, nothing helps. It’s consistently just stuck until I take action. I can “move to background” and it seems to help, but it’s consistently reading the terminal output incorrectly and hanging entirely.

Same here, but also in Chat mode. I see you are using ZSH and Oh my ZSH, maybe even the Power10k theme? I do as well and it gets stuck on both Claude and Gemini models. I suspect it is due to our theme and configurations - maybe that’s why it has a hard time recognizing when it finished.
I had another issue with git commands that output in a new window in terminal - so I created a rule to always output it to a temp txt file. Here’s the rule, it helped a lot:
if using git commands like “git log” where the output is not just printed below, add a command to add the output to a temp txt file and read it after the command runs. Commands: git log, git reflog, git show, git diff, git blame, git status, git ls-tree, git cat-file -p, git rev-parse, git describe, git fsck, git for-each-ref, git shortlog, git stash list, git bisect log

As slow as ever, but sometimes command lines work… however, it does not pickup the config SECRETS anymore.
For example, I have my GITHUB_TOKEN
secret set in the config (I tried removing it and re-adding it) but it’s not visible in the chat, nor in the terminal anymore.
