[SOLVED] Cursor v2.1.x fixes devcontainer stability/terminal connections

I just wanted to say a MASSIVE THANK YOU to the Cursor team for the v2.1.0 release as it now fixes a 6+ month old issue that was driving me crazy. I have multiple terminals open in a devcontainer and several times a day, one or more terminals would lose connection, and I would need to close/reopen or just hit the “rebuild container” button to get it fixed. Even with my entire container cached, it was annoying and broke my trail of thought as I worked.

Sometimes it would happen whenever I had used a terminal within Cursor ask/agent/plan mode and sometimes not. In any case, I suspect either of these “improvement” changes in Cursor v2.1.0 has fixed this issue now (after several days of testing and not a single disconnection!):

  • Terminals have improved awareness of already running processes.
  • VS Code Extension API upgraded to v1.105.1.

T H A N K Y O U !!!
