Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

The “queued prompts” are sent immediately even when the user sets the option to wait until the previous prompt is finished.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Send any prompt.
  2. While the prompt is taking place, send a new prompt
  3. Set the settings of queued prompts to wait until the previous prompts are finished
  4. The prompts are sent before all the tasks of previous prompts are finished.

Expected Behavior

  1. Send any prompt.
  2. While the prompt is taking place, send a new prompt
  3. Set the settings of queued prompts to wait until the previous prompts are finished
  4. The prompts wait until the whole previous prompt has been executed, after the summary and everything.

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, thanks for the report. To understand when the queue setting is being ignored, please share:

A short screen recording showing:

  • Sending the first prompt
  • What happens when you send the second prompt (is the Agent editing files, running terminal commands, or still planning?)
  • The queue settings dialog
  • The second prompt starting immediately

A Request ID - open the chat menu (three dots, top right) → Copy Request ID

This will help pinpoint exactly when the queue behavior breaks and speed up the fix.

Thank you for your quick answer, Dean.

I don’t have a screen recording because it’s difficult to catch it, but I notice that this happens while the agent is performing other actions. For example, I just had it happening while the agent was using the MCP tools. These got cancelled and jumped to the next prompt immediately.

My request ID is d382533e-e354-4795-b30f-bcd9eed96ecb
but I reverted to previous checkpoints after having this happening, so i dont know if you are able to see it.

the queue is set to wait until the prompt is finished. It usually does work, it’s only sometimes, like this one, that skips it.
