Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

Before the last update, every time the Agent made an edit to a file the file would open in the Editor. Not it won’t and I need to open each file manually.

Steps to Reproduce

Ask the Agent to edit a file

Expected Behavior

Any modified file by the Agent should automatically open in the Editor

Operating System

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

hi @Tomas_French we have changed that in a earlier version due to user feedback. You can always click on the files changed in Chat and also they are listed at bottom of Chat as changed files. Additionally they are also visible in Git.

Not happy with this. There should be an Agent/Chat setting like “Show file on change” or “Reveal agent edits” allowing this behaviour

Thank you for your feedback I will share it with our team.
