Problem with Cursor canceling console commands in Windows

Bug Reports
1

Describe the Bug

Cursor cannot execute commands on Windows OS — as far as I understand, it tries to cancel commands by sending CTRL+C to the console, but the letter “C” remains in the console and gets added to the executed command. For example, instead of the command “dir,” it becomes “cdir,” and so on, causing Cursor to loop.

Steps to Reproduce

Ask Cursor to build a project with Gradle and watch as it fails to execute any command.

Does this stop you from using Cursor

Yes - Cursor is unusable

Creating a new chat doesn’t help; Cursor can also get stuck when it tries to cancel a command and the letter “C” ends up at the start of the next command.
