I'm using Cursor's Agent mode to generate code, but it keeps getting stuck in the "applying" state. Why is this happening?

When I use Agent mode and enter a prompt like “help me create a Spring Boot project,” it generates a pom.xml file, but the content keeps flashing in the Agent dialog with “pom.xml applying” and then freezes completely.

I’m using ​​version 0.48​​. Does anyone know why this happens?

Team Cursor, is a fix planned for this. I was blocked and had to use a competing solution today.

I’ve found the solution to the issue.
First, my computer runs on Windows 11. Following the official troubleshooting guide located at Cursor – Welcome to Cursor, I cleared all custom installation paths and the app data files mentioned in the “2. Clearing App Data” section. After that, I downloaded the latest version (0.48.9) from the website. It might have been a conflict caused by my locally installed VS Code previously. After reinstalling it, the software is working again now.
