Describe the Bug Very often, almost every run, the chat gets stuck and I have to tell the agent that its stuck and has to continue where it’s left off. Steps to Reproduce Use agent Operating System MacOS Current Cursor Version (Menu → About Cursor → Copy) Version: 1.2.4 VSCode Version: 1.99.3 C…

does this by any chance happen when the agent runs commands? that is happening to me, i always have to click “move terminal to background” because it always gets stuck once the command finishes and this somehow fixes the stuck

@Oliver_Michalik Please stop cross posting where this is not relevant. OP has not indicated anything about terminals

@condor @liquefy mentioned in this topic the same issue I am experiencing and I believe my post contain valuable summary of terminal related issues. I will try to stay on the original topic next time.

@yumaheymans could you please add more information what the case is when agent/chat gets stuck. (Does it stop output, does it think its done with the task, or not know how to solve an issue …) As this depends a lot on the details it would help to debug your case.

I am having same issue, when cursor tries to run in local command in powershell or CMD, it get stuck. Anyone why its happening?

@nayabraheel there are separate threads on terminal stuck, its a known issue and Cursor Team is working on it. I suggest searching for terminal in forum search.

there are many bugs with the chat, check below: Chat App Issues and Feedback [🛠️] - Watch Video loading all the time and stuck loading often chats gone after restart mac native loading spinner all the time with any chat operation (opening, removing etc) hotkeys for creating new tab and new chat…

chat gets completely stuck without error message, nothing happens, even not after like 30 minutes, its completely stuck

this made cursor unusable for me now, and I’m on Ultra plan
