Does this stop you from using Cursor

Sometimes - I can sometimes use Cursor

Hey, thanks for the report. This is a known issue in Plan mode that the team is already working on. Right now, Plan mode has sync problems when recreating plans in the same chat window, including:

  • TODO lists not updating correctly
  • Requests after the initial plan creation not updating the plan.md file properly

Temporary workaround:

The team is working on improvements. I’ve added your report to tracking. Thanks for the clear repro steps and screenshot.
