Cursor's chat freezes every so often

Cursor’s chat freezes every so often and it forces me to close and re open the application. I am not sure why this happens. I have reinstalled everything multiple times already.

Hi @Senhua ,

I am just a fellow user, but perhaps the following information from you would be helpful:

System Information

Cursor > Help > About

Confirm which of the Cursor AI interfaces you are having trouble with:

  • Ctrl + L - Long Context Chat
  • Ctrl + L - Interpreter Mode
  • Ctrl + K - In Editor
  • Ctrl + K - In Terminal
  • Ctrl + I (Composer)

Are you using any of the @ symbol features?

Also see:

02) Type Developer: Open Log and select Developer: Open Log File...

03) Type Cursor and you will see some relevant options

If you experience any crashes, you can refer to this post for more information:

I do get this error sometimes when the chat freezes, something about an operation being aborted
