Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

I asked for a plan to implement some requirements, like normal, and it thought/explored, and created a plan. So far, so good. Then I asked it to make some changes to the plan, and it froze on the tool call. This happens repeatably.

Steps to Reproduce

Simply create a plan and then ask it to modify it using Plan Mode.

Expected Behavior

It should modify the existing plan no problem.

Does this stop you from using Cursor

Sometimes - I can sometimes use Cursor

Hey, thanks for the report. This matches a known bug in the create_plan tool during plan updates - it can hang or time out. Temporary workaround: copy the markdown of the current plan into a new agent window and continue there. See the accepted answer: Cursor planning mode crash

Could you please share:

  • Screenshots of errors from Help > Toggle Developer Tools > Console at the time of the hang
  • The result of launching with extensions disabled: cursor --disable-extensions
  • Whether it reproduces on a different model

I’ll pass this to the team. Let me know if the workaround helps.
