Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?
Cursor IDE
Describe the Bug
Cursor’s continually (and errantly) throwing “connection errors” with the only fix being to restart the client has now made the cursor worthless to me. The fact that the dialog freezes, along with Claude having no progressive, real-time, contextual memory, has resulted in duplication, corruption, and likely the need to restart my 200,000 line project from scratch, assuming Cursor fixes the problem. This problem is not an inconvenience; it’s a critical problem calling for an all-hands-on-deck, no one sleeps, etc, effort to find and fix all client errors that require me to exit and restart the client. at least throw a useful error message in lieu of the catchall “connection error, check your VPN” These errors are not on my side (i dont use vpn and no way my internet disconnects 50 times a day)
