When i use plan mode , the click on the “build” button in chat don’t work and i can’t see the plan : “The editor could not be opened due to an unexpected error. Please consult the log for more details.”. 3 times in last 5 minutes.
Steps to Reproduce
build a plan with plan mode and try to execute it in chat. IDE
Expected Behavior
something i can’t see the plan and the button with “build” do nothing when i click on it.
Operating System
Windows 10/11
Current Cursor Version (Menu → About Cursor → Copy)
I just asked Cursor to plan and it showed the same message after planning when I try review the plan: “The editor could not be opened due to an unexpected error. Please consult the log for more details”
Hey, thanks for the report. We’re seeing a few cases like this today on 2.1.47, mostly on Windows. We’re already looking into it.
For now, as a temporary workaround: try asking to build the plan with a text prompt in the chat instead of the Build button - a few users reported that the plan builds that way.
Cursor also freezes randomly. Windows 11. This was fixed in a prior release and now I regret clicking “Update Now”
Can we get better changelogs for these frequent updates that seemingly break things entirely? When this occurs, our team still gets charged for these failed requests. @deanrie
This is an AI-first product and those changelogs should be largely automated at this point. If I click update, I should have a reasonable understanding of what is changing as I update.
Here’s some immediate information @deanrie NOTE: I won’t be able to provide screenshots or videos on a public forum. I can submit them to support, if needed, but need help on how to do that appropriately.
Any time the window focus changes away from Cursor (to Edge or another browser), the freeze is much more likely to occur.
See note above, screenshots or videos will be difficult to provide.
Developer: Open Process Explorer - this is impossible since the entire application is frozen. The window is unable to be interacted with, and the window doesn’t even come to the front any longer. Nothing works. I have to use Task Manager → Process Kill to solve. This is more likely to occur when the agent/plan modes look to edit a file (plan file or agent based changes to files the agent needs to make) while the window is NOT in focus
I can try running cursor –disable-extensions, but I don’t feel it’s an extension issue because the only changes have been with the frequent IDE Updates (which again, provide no release notes to determine what has changed.)
DevTools, See above. If there’s a way to enable debug logging to provide stack traces or something else ahead of a freeze, that’d be helpful.
We’re looking into the plan mode issue. For antivirus info - you may have to mark Cursor manually as safe. The browser feature should be unrelated, but more info would be helpful.
+1, happening to me on WSL. Can’t do anything with auto or composer, interestingly enough GPT-5.1 Codex Max will show the accept buttons (even though I don’t want to manually approve each file edit).
yes same here since yesterday, even save to workspace showing this error, so my temporary fix is to tell the grok (free version) to move it to workspace.
