Plan code block contents heavily indented

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

Plan mode will sometimes create plan docs where the contents of code blocks are heavy indented for no apparent reason. Sometimes this only happens when it edits…just steadily indents a lot of them within the doc with each edit despite having nothing to do with the edits it was trying to make.

Steps to Reproduce

Not reliable to reproduce because it doesn’t always happen, but just give it requests to include documentation for how to set something up that requires commands on CLI to be used and it might do the heavy weird indentation.

Expected Behavior

Code blocks have no indentation within them unless it is to align parts that should be indented, such as lines 2+ of a curl command.

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, thanks for the report.

This is a known issue with Markdown formatting in plan mode. The team is working on a fix.

As a temporary workaround, please try creating a new plan from scratch instead of editing an existing one, since the issue gets worse with repeated edits.
