Does this stop you from using Cursor
Yes - Cursor is unusable

Hey, thanks for the report. This matches a known bug the Cursor team is currently investigating.
The crash occurs during chat summarization and affects multiple macOS users on recent 1.7.x versions.
Workaround: launch Cursor with GPU disabled: cursor --disable-gpu
This should prevent crashes while the team works on a fix.
Quick questions to help the investigation:
Do you have any MCP servers installed (e.g., Atlassian, GitHub)?
What’s your exact macOS version?
Let me know if the --disable-gpu workaround helps.
FYI to everyone.
disable-gpu did not work.
I downgraded from the newest version and that did the trick.
To which version did you downgrade to? Having the same issue and havent been able to fix it with the suggested solutions
