Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?
Cursor IDE
Describe the Bug
I installed the latest update and restarted Cursor. The fan hasn’t stopped running for the last 20 mins and my Activity Monitor looks as posted: I can’t post my screenshot because I can’t open any other apps because Cursor is running away with my resources. Cursor Helper (GPU) process specifically
Steps to Reproduce
Apply the latest update to Cursor, reopen Cursor and stand back
Expected Behavior
Cursor is consuming all of the available resources on my Macbook Pro
