Agents window no longer splits changes by repository in multi-repo workspaces

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Somewhere else…

Describe the Bug

Agents window no longer splits changes by repository in multi-repo workspaces.

(You explicitly refer to your classic VS Code based views as “IDE” so I chose “Somewhere else…” in the surface picker)

Steps to Reproduce

  • Open existing multi repo workspace
  • Have agent change something in one of the repos
  • Attempt to view change in respective repo

Expected Behavior

Changes pane shows in which repo a change occurred, as was the case pre-“3.13.10 (Universal)”

Operating System

MacOS

Version Information

3.13.10 (Universal)

Does this stop you from using Cursor

Yes - Cursor is unusable

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

This occurs in the Agent Window, not IDE. I have followed these steps for creating a multi-root workspace Creating multi-repo workspaces from Cursor Agents - #2 by system, butI am only able to view changes for one repository in the Changes tab. I am unable to switch repositories as shown in a previous release here Multi-root support in Agents Window - #10 by Colin.

For example, I have repos A,B,C, and D in my workspace. A, C, and D have changes, but I can only see the diffs for repo A in the Changes screen.

Steps to Reproduce

  • select multiple folders for workspace in Agents Window
  • have uncommitted changes in multiple repos within workspace
  • open Changes on side nav
  • drop down only shows branch for one repo.

Expected Behavior

  • dropdown to select source within current workspace for changes

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

I opened a multi-project workspace. If I remember correctly, I could switch projects in the Change panel and the File panel; but after I freshly installed Cursor, why can’t I switch now?

Hi @Alex-J, @heyyocali_work, and @Qiang,

Thanks for the reports and screenshots. What you’re seeing is not caused by your workspace setup. The Agents Window Changes view currently only shows one repository in a multi-root workspace, and the repo switcher from earlier builds is missing. We’ve let the team know, and we’re tracking this issue.

Two things that can help in the meantime:

  • The classic Editor Window Source Control view still splits changes by repository. From the Agents Window, Cmd+Shift+N opens a new Editor Window on the same workspace. You can review the multi-repo diffs there, then come back.
  • If the agent has already created a branch or PR in another repo, that repo may show up in the branch picker at the top of the Changes tab. That will not help for repos the agent has not touched yet.

@Qiang, if the Files panel also only shows one project after a fresh install, try reopening the multi-root workspace file (or re-adding the folders). I believe that is separate from the Changes view issue. I’ll post here with any updates.

You’ve confirmed in your email that it’s a bug, but hasn’t it been fixed yet?

I need it a lot,

Can we get an update here? This is preventing me from using Cursor

Hi @wigglydtrain, I don’t have a fix to announce yet.

Until it’s resolved, the most reliable path is the same as before. From the Agents Window, Cmd+Shift+N (Ctrl+Shift+N on Windows or Linux) opens a classic Editor Window on the same workspace. Source Control there in the IDE window still splits changes by repository, so you can review the other repos and then come back.

I’ll post here when I have an update.
