Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

Ever since I upgraded to a ‘new’ version, it keeps constantly “reconnecting.”
It has become practically unusable.
I simply can’t stand it anymore.
I’m planning to give up on Cursor and switch to Codex.

Hey, to look into the reconnecting issue, I’ll need a few details:

  1. Your Cursor version. Go to Menu > About Cursor > Copy
  2. Your OS Windows, Mac, or Linux
  3. Are you using a VPN, proxy, or Remote SSH?

In the meantime, try these:

  • Disable HTTP/2: Cmd+, or Ctrl+,, search HTTP/2, turn on Disable HTTP/2, then restart Cursor
  • Run Network Diagnostics: Cursor Settings > Network > Run Diagnostics, then share a screenshot of the results
  • Test on a mobile hotspot: connect your PC to your phone’s mobile data and see if the reconnecting stops. This helps confirm if it’s network-related

Let me know how it goes.
