Describe the Bug

I’ve been consistently using Cursor’s code navigation features, specifically “Find Symbol” and “Find Reference,” without any issues. However, yesterday, these features suddenly stopped working in one of my Python projects, even after restarting Cursor. Interestingly, the code navigation functionality is still working correctly in my other Python projects.

Steps to Reproduce

I can’t reproduce.

Hey, to start, try restarting the server: use the Command Palette Ctrl + Shift + P or CMD + Shift + P and run the command "Python: Restart Language Server".

If that doesn’t help, try clearing the cache by deleting the folder at:

  • Windows: %UserProfile%\AppData\Roaming\Cursor\Cache
  • Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Cursor/Cache

I hope this fixes the issue.

Thanks for the suggestions, but I’ve tried both methods and the problem still isn’t solved. I’m wondering if the language server might be the cause of the issue?
