Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

whenever i start new agents, it just keeps popping up an old prompts without any notification. And if i stop it, it just reappears several seconds later. So basically i can not do any work.

I have already tried to reinstall/restart both on the server side and client side, both did not help. I also cleaned .cursor and cache.

Steps to Reproduce

i dont know exactly, right now i just start a new agent and type something, and then it starts to repeat.

Does this stop you from using Cursor

Yes - Cursor is unusable

Thanks for the report @Alex_Liu1. This is a known issue with recent GPT models (5.5 and 5.5), and we are investigating.

hi colin thanks for your quick reply. I did a quick test with composer-2, but still faces the same issue. The request ID: 9015b5c0-33da-4071-8ad9-b9f0eaef2af9

I think I might not be understanding your issue well! Is an entire conversation reopening on its own, or is a new chat responding as though it has the context of an old one?

more like this one. When i open a new chat, after sending the first prompt, it will keep queue one my old prompt.

as you can see, those prompts in red block are not sent by me. They just send themselves and do it repeatedly.
