Linux Mint: window terminated unexpectedly (reason: 'clean-exit', code: '0') on Cursor 3.19.7

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

The editor window dies and shows: The window terminated unexpectedly (reason: ‘clean-exit’, code: ‘0’). This is not OOM and not a crash code. main.log records CodeWindow: renderer process gone (reason: clean-exit, code: ). It happens several times in a day, often around Agent activity (PowerMainService wakelock reason=agent-loop) and sometimes after RendererPing reports the window blocked (~15–20s). Extension hosts then exit with code 0.

Steps to Reproduce

Use Cursor 3.19.7 on Linux Mint 22.3.
Work in a workspace with Agent running.
After some time (or after the window is blocked), the renderer exits cleanly and the unexpected-termination dialog appears.
Reopen restores the window; the same clean-exit happens again later.
Reproduced many times on 2026-09-04, including: 10:40:11, 10:40:49, 10:44:44, 12:10:51, 12:12:53, 13:10:37, 13:11:06, 13:12:24, 13:15:30.

Expected Behavior

The window should stay open. If the renderer dies, it should report a real crash or OOM reason, not a clean-exit treated as unexpected termination.

Does this stop you from using Cursor

Sometimes - I can sometimes use Cursor
