Plan mode failing repeatedly to update the plan

Hey, thanks for the report. This is a known issue. Plan Mode: the plan update tool requires an exact text match (including spaces/formatting), which often causes updates to fail.

Confirmed case and temporary solutions here:

While we fix it, try:

  • Copy the plan’s markdown into a new agent window and continue from there
  • Or save the plan to the working folder .cursor/plans and edit/recreate the plan from there
  • If you want to try updates: first ask the agent to “read the current plan” and use the exact text for replacement

Could you please share:

  • Screenshots of errors from Help → Toggle Developer Tools → Console at the time of the crash
  • Results of running with extensions disabled: cursor --disable-extensions
  • Whether it reproduces in a new chat with a fresh plan

Let me know if any of these options help. I’ll attach your case to the investigation.
