Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

When agent is making changes the approve/controls does not work and the modal remains persistent even after closing the file, clicking the buttons, or restarting the IDE. I already reinstalled the cursor app and the issue persists

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Prompt to the AI (I’m using Sonnet 4.5 model if that makes diff)
  2. Let them do changes
  3. Click approve, undo, or any buttons on the approval modal

Expected Behavior

It should be gone when clicking Undo All or Keep All. The green edited lines should also be gone

Cursor Code Editor Bug

Hey, thanks for the report, this is a known issue with the review UI. Try these workarounds:

  1. Make a small change in any file, then stage and commit. Sometimes this “wakes up” the buttons.
  2. Rename the problematic file, fully close Cursor, open it again, then rename the file back. This worked for other users.
  3. In the problematic file, delete the highlighted blocks, save, then immediately press Ctrl+Z (Undo).
  4. Ctrl+Shift+P → Developer: Reload Window

If none of that helps, send the Request ID from the last agent action (chat context menu → Copy Request ID) and I’ll pass it to the engineers.
