Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?
Cursor IDE
Describe the Bug
When connecting to a remote, the “Enter password for [remote]” entry field pops up. If I then don’t enter a password and just leave Cursor in this state, even in the background, CPU usage spikes, the Mac very quickly heats up. Same thing happens with this waiting for confirmation dialogue in the AI chat:
Steps to Reproduce
- Connect to a remote that needs a password
- Wait
Operating System
MacOS
