Describe the Bug

Accept / Reject changes and DIFF doesnt show on edit. v2.4.23

I tried all of these:
Key Troubleshooting Steps:
Restart & Update: Fully restart Cursor and check for updates (Cursor > Check for Updates).
Disable Protection: Go to Settings > Agents and disable External-file Protection.
Toggle Settings: Switch Settings > Agents > Auto-Run Mode to “Run Everything”.
Command Palette: Press Ctrl+Shift+P and type “View: Reset View Locations”.
Workaround: If changes are stuck, temporarily rename the file while Cursor is closed, reopen it, then rename it back to clear the diff.

With no success so far!

Yes - Cursor is unusable

Hey, thanks for the report.

This is a known issue and the team is aware. To help with debugging, we need a bit more info:

Diagnostics:

  • After what exact action did the buttons disappear?
  • Does it reproduce in another project, and for which file types?
  • Output of git status and git diff for a couple of affected files
  • Any errors in Help > Toggle Developer Tools > Console?

Quick checks (I know you probably tried these, but just in case):

  • Run Cursor without extensions: cursor --disable-extensions from the terminal
  • Try creating a test file and ask the agent to modify it. Do the buttons show up on a fresh file?

Let me know what you find.
