Does this stop you from using Cursor

Yes - Cursor is unusable

This is a known bug with the current layout. After selecting a folder and clicking Open, the workspace silently fails to load.

Workaround: Try switching to the editor layout. Open Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P) and search for “Toggle Glass” or “Layout” to switch. SSH connections should work in the editor layout. You can switch back once we ship a fix.

Our team is actively working on resolving this. If switching layouts doesn’t help, could you open Help > Toggle Developer Tools > Console tab right after the connection attempt fails, and share any error messages? That would help us confirm the exact issue on your end.

Hey @Roni_Dabah,
The SSH connection issue has been addressed in a recent Cursor update. Updating to the latest version should resolve this — let me know if you’re still running into it!
