Describe the Bug
Everytime cursor runs a long-running command or a command with a lot of output on behalf of a model, the little circle spins and control never returns back to the AI. This is in agent mode. It was definitely much much worse when I was using zsh, and based on some forum suggestions, I literally removed zsh from my computer. It’s now about 80% of the time that cursor gets stuck after, say, a normal a build which takes a bit of time. I’m on WSL2, ubuntu 24. This is making Cursor totally unusable and I will probably cancel my subscription shortly.
Steps to Reproduce
Almost any command run by the AI in agent mode.
Expected Behavior
The command should run, and then the AI should be aware that it ran, and be able to read the output. and continue.

Additional Information
This is a somewhat new problem, I didn’t have it 3-5 weeks ago. I haven’t used cursor between then and now. It feels in spirit related to the problems with zsh other users may have been having.
Does this stop you from using Cursor
