Hanging in PS commandline

Bug Reports
1

Describe the Bug

Since the last update, my cursor AI keeps hanging at open command line prompts after executing something.

Steps to Reproduce

Impossible to reproduce at 100%. But asking it to make a complex task involving command lines, and watching as one of the tries hangs indefinitely

Expected Behavior

It’s meant to detect that powershell gave back control and continue with the next “thought” or tool call

Operating System

Windows 10/11

Does this stop you from using Cursor

Yes - Cursor is unusable

it seems like this happens when the powershell command executes so fast that cursor doesn’t have time to catch it. entering manually in the command line and replaying the last command seems to make cursor aware that it’s finished
