Lagging a lot when typing commit msg

Support Bug Reports
5

Hey, this looks related to a wider performance issue on Windows after updating to 2.6. The team already knows about it and is collecting info in this thread: Execrable performance on windowsOS since today’s update.

So far, users have found a couple of workarounds:

  1. Hide the chat panel Ctrl+Alt+B. A few users confirmed the lag goes away.
  2. Close any agent chats that include file changes or diffs. They seem to be the main trigger for the memory leak.

If that doesn’t help, can you share:

  • Is your chat panel open when you type the commit message?
  • Roughly how much RAM is Cursor using in Task Manager?

Let me know how it goes.
