Agent Review spends a large amount of tokens / requests and the findings disappear after doing something else in the Cursor UI like switching tabs, as if you didn’t run the Agent Review. There’s no way to retrieve the findings.
Steps to Reproduce
Run Agent Review, open an editor tab with one finding, then do something else in the Cursor UI, like switching tabs. The editor tab with the finding will disappear and the Agent Review UI will look like you never ran it. No findings anywhere, no way to retrieve them.
Expected Behavior
The findings should persist. They should survive using Cursor. They should be retrievable.
I don’t know if it happens consistently or what exact interaction with the Cursor UI triggered it. It could have been a tab switch, or maybe I closed / opened the chat panel (Cmd+Option B), or clicked on another file in the source control tab. I can’t remember. All I know is that I was looking at the finding in the editor window, then I did something with completely normal like the things I mentioned, and when I went looking for the finding it was gone and the findings in the Agent Review UI vanished at the same time.
Sorry I can’t be more precise, I would love to help you pin it down, but it’s quite a costly exercise.
Maybe this might be a hint: I did get a message that “inline diffs have been disabled because they’re too long” or something like that. I see there’s bug reports of vanishing inline diffs, maybe it’s related?
Thanks for the extra details, especially the hint about “inline diffs have been disabled because they’re too long.” That’s really helpful. This could be related. It looks like when inline diffs get disabled due to size, the review state can get out of sync and the findings disappear.
I’ll pass this to the team with the details. There isn’t a specific workaround yet, but if you can reproduce it, please watch whether that inline diffs message shows up every time right before the findings disappear. That would help confirm the connection.
Ok, I’m not sure what causes the inline diffs to get too long, I couldn’t find anything about that message, but I suspect it may be related to not having reviewed 64 changed files that Cursor was expecting me to review. But I re-enabled the diffs (clicked the button to do that on the message itself), and reviewed (accepted) all the changes. Maybe that will take care of the bug I reported, I don’t know. And I won’t know because it was too expensive to use. There’s other ways to get agent reviews that are much cheaper.
