Agent Review feature gets stuck in review loop

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

I really like the new agent review feature! Thank you cursor.
However, I sometimes experience troubles with it:

When I click on fix in chat if gets fixed first. But then I want to push and it says, the user has deleted my changes and so forth.

If you fix it again, same happens… this is a bug review cycle…

Steps to Reproduce

Error Message Pattern

“the user has deleted my changes”

“Changes not staged for commit”

“Everything up-to-date” (even though changes were just made)

Root Cause

Agent Review appears to continuously compare the working directory against the remote repository. When it detects a difference, it assumes the remote is “correct” and automatically reverts local changes - even if those changes are the intended fixes.

Workaround That Works

  1. :white_check_mark: Open Agent Review

  2. :white_check_mark: Use “Fix in Chat” to analyze issues

  3. :white_check_mark: Close Agent Review panel (important!)

  4. :white_check_mark: Let AI Agent implement the fix

  5. :white_check_mark: Commit & Push successfully

Closing the Agent Review panel before committing prevents the reset loop.

Reproduction Steps

  1. Open a file with an issue detected by Agent Review

  2. Click “Fix in Chat”

  3. AI Agent makes the fix

  4. Keep Agent Review panel open

  5. Try to git add and git commit

  6. Observe: Changes get reverted automatically

  7. Repeat → Infinite loop

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue
