I am trying to open a previously opened project (CMD+SHIFT+N → View all → select project folder). A new cursor window opens, but is completely empty, no errors, nothing. Closing Cursor does not resolve the issue.
If I open the same project for File → Open folder, it opens it correctly, and after this I can open the project normally again.
Steps to Reproduce
I don’t know, what causes the issue, as the UI gives no indication for it. So I don’t know how to trigger it again.
I can see a screenshot with an empty window. This might be related to the workspace cache. Please try:
Open Developer Tools (Help > Toggle Developer Tools) when the empty window appears, then check the Console for errors and share a screenshot.
Try clearing the workspace cache: close the project, find ~/Library/Application Support/Cursor/User/workspaceStorage/, and delete the folder for your project (or rename it to be safe). IMPORTANT: your chat history will be lost.
Check if this happens with any project, or only with a specific one.
Also helpful:
CMD+SHIFT+P > Developer: Open Process Explorer, check if all processes started.
Share your list of installed extensions, especially anything related to Git or workspace management.
For now, you can use File > Open Folder as a workaround. Let me know what you find, it’ll help narrow down the cause.
