When I start typing a commit message in the source control thing in the sidebar the text takes a bit long to appear.
When I type normally in a file it’s acting normally.
Weirdly enough opening the process explorer fixes the sluggishness “Developer: Open Process Explorer”.
Steps to Reproduce
Open cursor
Click the Message field in git source control panel.
Start typing.
Hey, that’s an interesting bug, especially the detail about Process Explorer. That’s a good clue for debugging.
A couple things to start with:
Try launching Cursor with extensions disabled from the terminal: cursor --disable-extensions. If the lag goes away, it’s caused by one of the extensions.
Before opening Process Explorer, check it and note which processes are using the most resources, especially extensionHost and ptyHost. A screenshot from there would be really helpful.
Does this happen in a small test repo, or only in your main project?
How am I supposed to check it before opening it?
As a side note—after closing the process explorer the lag does not reappear until I close and open cursor completely (or maybe after just leaving it for a while I’m not sure.)
It happens way less in a small repo, but there is still a bit of lag.
I encountered the same issue.
The problem arose after updating to the latest version.
As a temporary fix, I downgraded back to version 2.5 and resolved the issue.
The same is happening to me in Ubuntu with Cursor version 2.6.21 (fea2f546c979a0a4ad1deab23552a43568807590, x64). I can confirm opening the command palette fixes it.
Hey everyone, we’re aware of the bug and the team’s on it. The regression is noted too.
For now, there’s a working workaround: before typing the commit message, open the Command Palette with Cmd+Shift+P or Ctrl+Shift+P. You can close it right away. After that, the lag goes away until the next Cursor restart.
The Whole Cursor IDE UI freezes on typing into the git commit changes text box.
Steps to Reproduce
File->open Folder->open some folder which contains a git repo
make some code changes
open the git changes tab in the main side bar
start typing a commit message
After a few characters, the ui completely hangs. No more characters appear, chats progress is not displayed (if any running), interaction with the ide is impossible. After a few seconds, all typed characters appear and also other areas of the ui refresh (like chats).
Expected Behavior
ui should not hang on text input
