Cursor unable to correctly detect command completions

Describe the Bug

Every other terminal command, cursor doesnt recognized the command status to continue independently, that means I need to intervene manually ever more, since recent updates. Its time consuming and prevents reasonable task size automation. Annoying, and not response from the team.

Steps to Reproduce

Just give it terminal commands to run like docker logs inspection, netstat, etc.

Expected Behavior

when forking a terminal, fork a watchdog to see when that terminal should have completed its job and checks its status properly

In the picture attached, cursor will never conclude the execution to decide what to do next. And recently this happens every other terminal command.

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue
