Usability: Cursor will disappear if the connection to a remote machine via SSH is suddenly closed | Warp | Page 1

Hi there. I often used Warp to connect remote servers but once the connection is closed accidentally (not mannually), the cursor will disappear forever unless I reopen a window or tab. I have tried `reset` which work for bringing cursor out again but it didn't work in Warp. My OS is macOS Ventura.

Hi @obsidian tendon. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

I understand your issue. There have been similar reports from other Warp users about the cursor disappearing or the terminal becoming unresponsive after an SSH session is abruptly terminated.

For instance, in this GitHub issue (https://github.com/warpdotdev/Warp/issues/1798), a user reported that after an ungraceful drop of an SSH connection, Warp loses its block context and the prompt is missing. The user can issue shell commands as normal, but no context, no block, no prompt.

In another GitHub issue (https://github.com/warpdotdev/Warp/issues/3230), a user reported similar issues with getting disconnected from an EC2 remote session. The local shell eventually becomes semi-responsive after several minutes, but local echo of input and newline/carriage returns are broken and/or dysfunctional. The user found a workaround by running vim, which rendered the screen as expected. After closing vim, the Warp terminal started functioning properly again.

Unfortunately, there's no definitive solution provided in the knowledge sources. However, you might want to try the `vim` workaround or report this issue on Warp's GitHub page for further assistance.
