I’m not sharing screenshots containing any code information on a public forum, which they would do. What you want to see is actually a video because this issue is weird AF.
What’s happening is this:
At some point in a chat, whenever I send a new propmpt I get a summary - like the new prompt dissappears, I see “Generating” for a brief moment.
BUT, if I press stop during the time I see this “Generating”, Cursor would start processing that prompt.
I have never seen anything like this in Cursor. It’s definitely something introduced in 1.2.x
Instead of continuing I get a changes summary that I never asked for and have disabled, it will continue giving me this summary and my prompts will be gone:
If I press STOP when I see Generating I can see my prompt again and it continues with it, if I don’t press STOP I get the summary and the new prompt is gone:
Hey, I think the problem might be related to a large chat history if everything is fine in other projects. Try manually deleting most of the history, possibly the oldest chats. You can also try renaming or moving the project. This will also help quickly clear the history.
I only have like 7 chats as I recentely had some issues with dev containers and moved the workspace dirs. This is also something I would want to avoid, it’s very annoying I lose chat history all the time because Cursor has been poorly designed WTR. I’ve got 3 other instances of the same project to develop in parallel. Renaming this one instance would mean I have to rename the other 3 or my tools would break as they rely on project naming consistency.
