Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

More of a nuisance than a huge bug, but I noticed that when creating plans that 20+ documents are created and all open up as tabs. Most of the time you can save the current one and then select close all saved and everything else should close. Manually closing the items is a real pain, sometime it seems that they need to be saved. Take a minute or two to manually go through and clean up the tabs.

Steps to Reproduce

use the agent in plan mode

Expected Behavior

Agent should generate and update one plan, not open up 20 tabs for each micro-edit

Hey, thanks for the report. This is a known issue in version 2.2.36, a regression compared to 2.2.35.

The team is already working on a fix. The issue happens because in 2.2.36 the plan opens in a tab during generation, which causes the file to be locked and creates many copies.

Okay, thanks for the response
