Where does the bug appear (feature/product)? Cursor IDE Describe the Bug After opening a workspace in Curosr (either from inside the UI or through the terminal), the loading continues forever and never stops. Workspace tree loads, but the terminal doesn’t start, file viewer doesn’t show the content…

Hey, thanks for the report. This looks like an issue we’re tracking with freezes on macOS in 3.0.x. Similar thread here: Cursor last update freeze on macOS We need a bit more info to narrow down the cause: What exact macOS version are you on? Apple menu > About This Mac Do you have any MCP server…

Same issue for me here. I can’t use CMD-P to open files in the Agent view. macOS: 26.3.1 (a) (25D771280a) Cursor: Version: 3.0.16 VSCode Version: 1.105.1 Commit: 475871d112608994deb2e3065dfb7c6b0baa0c50 Date: 2026-04-09T05:33:51.767Z Layout: glass Build Type: Stable Release Track: Default Electro…

@Tal_D , you’re on Tahoe 26.3.1 and Cursor 3.0.16. That’s a known bad combo. In the linked thread, we found that updating to macOS 26.4 plus Cursor 3.1.14 fixes it. Try updating both and let me know how it goes. @Nguyen_Tan_Phat_Le_C , I see your screenshot, looks like the same issue. What macOS and …

@deanrie I have the same issue. I’ve updated: Cursor to version: 3.1.17 Mac os to version: 26.4.1 But still the same behavior. I totally wiped cursor out from mac and installed again but the issue persist.

Hey @Konrad_Jaglowski . Sorry the update didn’t help. For most other users in this thread it went away after 26.4 + 3.1.14, so you might have a separate case. Could you share a bit more info so we can figure it out: Exact symptoms. Does the workspace tree load, but the terminal and file viewer han…

Hi @deanrie , also facing the same issue: MacOS version 26.4.1, Cursor version 3.2.11 Same as those above - workspace tree load but terminal and file viewer hang (indefinitely loading). Same for extensions/source control views. cat ~/.cursor/mcp.json is empty Running without extensions doesn’t help…

Hey @Tom_Manor , thanks for putting this together in so much detail. If the bug reproduces on 26.4.1 + 3.2.11 without MCP and without extensions, that’s probably not the same bug as before (that one was closed after the fix in 26.4 + 3.1.14). This looks more like a separate case. We have a similar is…

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)? Cursor IDE Describe the Bug It started to happen around a month ago, first of all, the Cursor IDE became super slow, I’ve reloaded the window as usual, but the window was just blank. I can see the file names, but everything just loads infinitely, no exte…

How is this still an issue? This was introduced a few months ago, and for want of an actual solution to the bug and a reticence to acknowledge the issue on the part of the Cursor team, some combination of the recommended solutions would eventually un-bork workspaces, but after being forced to finall…
