๐Ÿ› Visual Editor "Infinite Loop" Bug (Cursor 2.3.9)

January 8, 2026 ยท View on GitHub

Severity: ๐ŸŸง HIGH (Usability) Status: Active in v2.3.9 Workaround: Avoid "Visual" tab

What is it?

The new Visual Editor (GUI for CSS tweaking) has a race condition where the Agent gets stuck in a loop trying to apply styles.

Symptoms

  • The Agent repeatedly asks "Where did the previous plan go?"
  • You see the same CSS change being applied, checked, and re-applied 10+ times.
  • Massive API credit drain.

๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ Workaround

Strictly use Source View. Do not open the "Visual" tab in the side panel until Anysphere releases patch 2.4.
