Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

I normally relied upon renaming multiple sessions in Terminal, so I could clearly see where to navigate when running multiple terminal sessions, either Claude Code or whatever. In the latest editions, it is virtually impossible to change the name, as if it’s been interrupted by the IDE.

Steps to Reproduce

Try renaming a Terminal session and note that it seems virtually impossible.

Expected Behavior

RIght cick on default Terminal session name, select rename, type in proposed name.

Operating System

MacOS

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, I can’t reproduce this on my side. Renaming works fine. Sounds like something specific to your setup.

I need a bit more info to debug:

  1. Video: record a short screencast of the steps and what happens when you try to rename.

  2. Test with extensions disabled:

    • Launch Cursor from the terminal: cursor --disable-extensions
    • Try renaming the terminal
    • Does it work?

  3. Clean workspace: does it happen in a new empty project too?

Send me the results and we’ll figure out what’s blocking it.
