### Describe the Bug

While editing User Rules under Cursor → Settings → Rules, the editor occasionally refreshes unexpectedly. When this occurs, all unsaved content is lost.  
This issue appears to happen randomly, and I have not been able to consistently reproduce it.

### Steps to Reproduce

Unfortunately, there is no known reliable reproduction method. The issue seems to occur sporadically during normal editing.

### Expected Behavior

The editor should not refresh or discard unsaved content unexpectedly during rule editing.
