SSH Connection Window Freeze in Cursor

Bug Reports
1

Describe the Bug

When attempting to establish an SSH connection to a remote server via Cursor’s built-in terminal, the connection window freezes and becomes unresponsive after a few seconds. No error message appears, and the window must be forcibly closed.

Steps to Reproduce

Open Cursor and navigate to the terminal panel.

Run ssh username@remote-server-ip.

Enter the password when prompted.

Observe the window freezing (see screenshot below).

Expected Behavior

The SSH connection should remain stable.

The terminal window should stay interactive after authentication.

Hi @lavinal712 and @krzynio, thanks for sharing this issue.

Could you try doing a clean uninstall / reinstall of Cursor? This will wipe all state but should resolve this issue – it looks like restoring the editor state is causing the editor to crash. Please see these docs for instructions: Cursor – Common Issues

Thank you for your guidance. I reverted Cursor to version 0.51.2 and deleted the dataset files in the server folder, which resolved the issue. I hope the official team can fix this problem soon so we can use the latest version again.

@ravirahman unfortunately clean reinstall (I deleted all cursor files and started from scratch as you suggested) doesn’t resolve the issue.

Hi @krzynio, could you also try deleting the ~/.cursor and ~/.cursor-server folders on your remote machine?
