Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?
Cursor IDE
Describe the Bug
In previous versions of Cursor the agents were able to write commands into the integrated persistent terminal at the bottom of the screen. It didn’t matter what terminal it was (I have the GIT BASH set up and previously it was working perfectly fine).
Now, after upgrading, the agents all timeout and fail to run the commands. Turning on ‘legacy terminal’ works as a workaround but you lose all of the functionality of having a persistent terminal that the agent can work in as well as everything the ‘profile’ gives you (alias’s/PATH variables/ect).
I am marking this as ‘sometimes stops me from using cursor’ however, with the functionality the way it is, I will not be using cursor at all. Having the Agent try and fail to run commands and force me to copy paste the commands, then copy paste the output is detrimental to a fast development workflow.
Steps to Reproduce
Launch Cursor
Make sure Cursor Settings → Agents → Legacy Terminal Tool is set to OFF
Make sure you have a terminal set up in the bottom terminal screen (Terminal-> New Terminal). For my usage I utilize Git Bash as my default.
Ask an agent to run the ls command
Agent sits and spins, then times out.
Expected Behavior
Agent should be able to type and interact with persistent integrated git bash terminal the same way it was in previous versions.
