[wsl ubuntu + windows] agent hangs frequently while run local commands

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

My working environment is windows+wsl(ubuntu)+cursor. My dev working space is in WSL and I started cursor with “cursor .” in the project home folder. Recently I updated cursor extensions (WSL/Remote/Dev Container from anysphere) as required. and then cursor agent hangs very frequently when it was running command like “tail -f 20” or “ls” etc. I believe it did not happen once with old extensions from vscode. It is very very annoying. help please…

Steps to Reproduce

it just comes without any special ops…

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue
