Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

Since the latest update, when we give a task to the agent to build, the Agent keeps waiting for our acceptance, but the accept button is not visible.

Steps to Reproduce

Just ask for any plan to build, and when it starts building, it will be stuck in an infinite loop, awaiting user input, but there is no visible button to click.

Expected Behavior

It should not ask for every edit to file.

Additional Information

Hey, thanks for the report. This looks like a known regression in 2.1.47-2.1.48 on Windows that we’re already investigating.

Details and discussion: Plan mode "build" not working in chat

Quick temporary workarounds:

  • Ask to build the plan via text in chat (instead of the Build button)
  • Enable Settings → search: Auto-apply Edits or Auto-run to skip manual confirmation
  • Launch Cursor without extensions: cursor --disable-extensions and check if the Accept/Reject panel appears

Could you please attach:

  • Console errors: Ctrl+Shift+P → Developer: Toggle Developer Tools → Console
  • The Request ID from the stuck chat (chat menu top-right → Copy Request ID)
  • Confirmation whether it reproduces without extensions and if Auto-apply Edits helps

If it’s easier, stay on 2.0 until the fix ships.

This worked. Downgrading to v2.0 helped.

This is a serious issue and hopefully the Cursor team solves it quickly.

I’m having the same issue on Windows 11 x64 and 2.1.57. Downgrading to 2.0 resolved the issue.

are there any plans to address this bug? It’s blocking me from upgrading.

Hi I’m just following up about this issue.

9

Was this bug fixed?

10

I have installed the latest version released last week of December, and it is working so far.

11

@Vishaldbt what version are you currently on?

12

I’ve got a similar issue.
No shell is shown whatsoever and it’s stating “Wwaiting for approval”.
I tried the legacy shell as well, no change so far.

My Version:
2.3.33-1

Having the same issue,
Macos Sequoia 15.7.3 (24G419)
Version: 2.3.34 (Universal)

Same for me on a my m4 mac. I had to go back to 2.0 to solve this. I guess I will have to get a claude code license then.

15

is there an update for this? Cursor feels like it’s in alpha when going back to 2.0.
