Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

I made some changes via the new agent window mode in the second folder of my workspace, but when I click “review” it shows uncommited files from the first project only.

To clarify, at the same time I see correct review via “normal” chat UI in VSCode-like cursor.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Create a workspace with several root folders. Each one has its own git repo. Make some commits to all of them.
  2. Make changes to the first (kinda main) folder, but do not commit them.
  3. Go to agent window and ask it for some changes in the second folder.

The review now reviewing the changes from the first folder and completely does not show the changes just made in the chat.

Expected Behavior

Review shows actual changes made in chat window

Operating System

MacOS

Composer 2 fast, but I think it does not matter

Does this stop you from using Cursor

Yes - Cursor is unusable

Hey @IAkumaI since your report we’ve shipped some noticeable improvements for multi-root workspaces. The Review tab now has a repo switcher, so you can choose which workspace folder’s changes you’re viewing.

Update Cursor to the latest version (you were on 3.0.9, the current stable is much newer), then in your multi-root workspace open the Review tab and use the repo picker at the top to switch to the folder the agent edited. Check if the changes show up there.

Note: you can switch folders manually with the picker, but Review still doesn’t always auto-detect edits in a secondary folder. We’re still tracking this and I can’t share an ETA yet. Let me know if the picker helped you see the changes, or if it’s still showing the wrong folder.
