Menu closes when TODO list updates

[klntsky (Vladimir Kalnitsky)]

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

I have an agent running, that updates its TODO list. While that happens, whenever it ticks a TODO list entry, if I happen to have a menu (File/Edit/Selection etc) in expanded state at the same time, it gets closed. Probably this is something related to UI focus state being changed automatically.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Run an agent with any TODO plan
2. While it runs, open the menu

Operating System

Linux

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, thanks for the report. It looks like this is a new bug related to UI refresh behavior. I’ll pass it on to the team for investigation.

As a temporary workaround, you can try interacting with the menus before starting the agent or after it finishes updating the TODO list, though I understand this isn’t very convenient for your workflow.
