Bug description
Description
When importing a text file generated by gitingest (filename: 'glideapps-quicktype-8a5edab282632443.txt') into Cursor IDE, a dialog appears warning about unusual line terminator characters (U+2028 or U+2029).
Environment
- Cursor IDE version: [your version]
- Operating System: [your OS]
- Source: gitingest output file
- File format: .txt
Workaround
Click "Remove Unusual Line Terminators" in the dialog to automatically convert these characters to standard line breaks. Alternatively, you can configure Cursor's editor.unusualLineTerminators setting to "auto" to silently remove them or "off" to disable the warning entirely.
Steps to reproduce
Steps to reproduce:
1. Generate a repository summary using gitingest
2. Download or copy the output text file
3. Attempt to open the file in Cursor IDE
4. Dialog appears: "Detected unusual line terminators"Expected behavior
Expected Results
The file should open without warnings and use standard line terminators (LF, CRLF, or CR) that are compatible with all code editors.
Actual behavior
Actual Results
Cursor displays a blocking dialog requiring user action to either remove unusual line terminators or ignore the warning.
