No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, thanks for the report. This likely comes down to settings.

Check: Cursor Settings > Agents > Agents > Queue Messages

Make sure it’s set to “Send after current message” (not “Send immediately”). “Send immediately” will run queued items right away instead of waiting for the current task to finish.

Let me know what you find.
