Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?
Cursor IDE
Describe the Bug
When using the “Verify these issues exist and fix them” feature, Cursor’s agent review system automatically deletes previously accepted changes, even after they have been committed and pushed to git. This creates a regression loop where the same fix needs to be re-applied multiple times.
Steps to Reproduce
Agent makes code changes (e.g., adds a field to a JavaScript array)
// Agent adds this line: { key: ‘liefer1_adresse’, icon: ‘fa-map-marked-alt’, label: ‘Adresse Details’ },
User accepts the changes via the “Accept” button in the diff view
Changes are committed and pushed to GitHub
git add templates/auftragsmanagement.html git commit -m “Fix: Add liefer1_adresse field” git push
User triggers agent review with: “Verify these issues exist and fix them: Bug 1: The field liefer1_adresse is missing…”
BUG: The previously accepted change is automatically deleted from the working copy
- { key: ‘liefer1_adresse’, icon: ‘fa-map-marked-alt’, label: ‘Adresse Details’ },
Expected Behavior
Agent review should verify that the field exists (since it was already added and committed)
No automatic deletion of previously accepted and committed changes
Agent should report: “
Field exists, no fix needed”
Actual Behavior
Agent review automatically deletes the previously added line
The deletion happens silently without user confirmation
Agent then “fixes” the issue by re-adding the same line
Creates a regression loop: Add → Accept → Commit → Review deletes it → Add again
Impact
Regression Loop: Same fixes need to be applied multiple times
Git History Pollution: Multiple commits for the same fix
User Confusion: “Why was my accepted change deleted?”
Workflow Disruption: Wastes time re-applying identical changes
Environment
Cursor Version: [Current Cursor version]
OS: Windows 10 (Build 26200)
Git: Working with remote repository on GitHub
Agent Model: Claude Sonnet 4.5
File Type: HTML template with embedded JavaScript
Workaround
Currently, we manually re-add the deleted changes after each agent review cycle and commit again.
Root Cause (Hypothesis)
The agent review system appears to:
Compare the current working copy against some cached/previous state
Generate a “fix” based on that comparison
Automatically apply deletions without checking git history or user acceptance state
Not respect previously accepted changes or committed code
Suggested Fix
Agent review should only suggest changes, not automatically delete existing code
OR: Agent review should check git history before suggesting deletions
OR: Agent review should respect user’s “accepted changes” state
OR: Add a confirmation dialog before deleting previously accepted changes
Reproduction Frequency
Consistent: Happens every time we use “Verify these issues exist and fix them” on code that was previously modified by the agent
Severity: High - disrupts normal development workflow
Steps to Reproduce
Steps to Reproduce
Initial Chat: Start a conversation with the agent
User: “Add field liefer1_adresse to the zustellungSection array”
Agent implements change:
// File: templates/auftragsmanagement.html // Agent adds this line at position 1104: { key: ‘liefer1_adresse’, icon: ‘fa-map-marked-alt’, label: ‘Adresse Details’ },
User accepts the change:
Click “Accept” button in the diff view
File is modified in working copy
Changes are committed and pushed:
git add templates/auftragsmanagement.html git commit -m “Fix: Add liefer1_adresse field” git push origin main
Push completes successfully:
GitHub shows the commit with the added line
Working copy and remote are in sync
User triggers agent verification (in the SAME chat session):
User sends message: “Verify these issues exist and fix them: Bug 1: The field liefer1_adresse is missing from zustellungSection”
OR User uses the @ selection feature to highlight a code section and requests verification
BUG OCCURS:
Cursor’s agent review system automatically deletes the previously added line from the working copy
The deletion happens without user confirmation
The deletion happens despite the change being accepted and committed
User sees the diff marker showing the deletion:
- { key: ‘liefer1_adresse’, icon: ‘fa-map-marked-alt’, label: ‘Adresse Details’ },
Agent “fixes” by re-adding the same line:
Agent detects the field is missing (because it was just auto-deleted)
Agent adds the exact same line again
Cycle repeats
Expected Behavior
Agent review should verify that the field exists (since it was already added and committed)
No automatic deletion of previously accepted and committed changes
Agent should report: “ Field exists, no fix needed”

Does this stop you from using Cursor
No - Cursor works, but with this issue
