Cursor keeps the blank plan content in the latest version

[ngochip]

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

Cursor keeps the blank plan content in its latest version, even though it says it has created a detailed plan.

Steps to Reproduce

1. The cursor is asked to create a plan.
2. After it creates a plan, it displays quite a few detailed steps on the chat screen.
3. Click to view the plan.

Only a blank page with empty content and 0 Todo items is displayed.

I need another prompt asking it to revise the plan because it’s currently blank. The Cursor will then recreate the plan with the content I expect.

Expected Behavior

A detailed plan should be shown.

Does this stop you from using Cursor

Sometimes - I can sometimes use Cursor

Hey, thanks for the report.

Temporary workaround: try asking the agent to recreate the plan using a text prompt in chat (for example, “recreate the plan, it’s empty”) instead of using the Build button.

To help speed up a fix, could you share:

• Logs from Help > Toggle Developer Tools > Console when opening the plan
• Whether this happens with a different model
• The Request ID from chat when you retry

Also try:

• Restart Cursor and create the plan in a new chat
• Close the plan tab, then click Build again

Let me know if this helps.

Also running into this repeatedly.

I see this error in the Console when opening the plan:

Happens for all models.
Here is a request ID for a recent chat with at least two plans that had this issue: 857c6560-3edf-4cb3-917c-a3c215055c28
