Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?
Cursor IDE
Describe the Bug
So, this was a new one today for sure… i would say almost every 2 out of 3 “command runs” are now failing cause of injection of hallucinated Chars.. Examples are provided.
This of course results in Cursor spinning the same command mulitiple times and or failing out 'saying “this didnt work” when it was self-induced.
i mean - really??? this results in a 60-70% reduction in efficiency if Cursor is injecting random character sets into the commands and then having to retry again and again until it cleans itself out.
Check it out - when i say “why are you doing this” - no intelligent answer other than “i acknowledge the bad chars and ill try again”. So what, Cursor is now just trying “anything” playing character set “Whack a mole?”
Steps to Reproduce
use your product today for anything
Expected Behavior
it should not be randomly injecting different character sets out of “nowhere”?

Additional Information
i am getting really tired of using your product for more than 2 hours and having to write tickets and see that in fact, its having to do the work 3-4 times (spinning my Compute/Power , etc) when it should not…
we dont work for Cursor as your field testers - we have paid for a product and almost everyday there are issues.
What happened to “quality releases?”
Does this stop you from using Cursor
Sometimes - I can sometimes use Cursor
- 60kWhs - that is huge!
