Terminal Commands Interrupted After Latest Cursor Update (Exit Code 130/SIGINT)

Describe the Bug

Any command I run in the Cursor terminal (even simple ones like ls -lh or echo hello) is immediately interrupted.
The shell returns exit code 130, which corresponds to a SIGINT (interrupt signal).
No output is shown for the command, and the prompt returns almost instantly.
This issue did not occur before the update—the terminal worked perfectly for all commands, including long-running builds and tests.
The problem is isolated to the Cursor terminal. All commands work as expected in my regular terminal (Terminal.app/iTerm2).

Steps to Reproduce

Open the integrated terminal in Cursor.
Run any command, e.g.:
The command is immediately interrupted, with no output.

Does this stop you from using Cursor

Yes - Cursor is unusable

I also encountered the same situation. I am also in a MacBook environment and used oh-my-zsh and powerlevel10k

Add this condition on top of your .zshrc file.
