Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

Hey! So basically yesterday without me updating or installing anything new within or outside of cursor I faced an issue where I wanted to delete some files from the explorer tree and when trying to do so cursor crashed. So I updated to the latest version 3.4.20-1 but that didn’t changed anything. I also dont have any extentions installed in cursors and this appeard in the middle of a session.

I also figures that it will freeze and crash when I try to revert some changes or when I want to sync some changes to github in the change tree tab… Already sent crash reports to the support but since this is really annoying I thought I may give it a shot and post it in here as well!

PS: Just wanted to copy the version out of help > version but that crashes cursor as well.

Meanwhile I fully uninstalled and reinstalled cursor but no change.

Wonder if its only me or if anybody else is facing these issues since yesterday?

kind regards
Chris

“I ran into a similar issue. It turned out to be a problem with the electron package. When I used the latest version (1:42), I experienced the same crash as you. However, after downgrading it to 1:41, Cursor stopped crashing.”
