I created the code with Chat, so its a new code which I will need to add to the existing code. When I click on “Apply” it shows generating… but then shows me the confirmation message: Accept or Reject. But I dont see the new code added to my existing code. I tried to close and reopen the Cursor app (desktop). How can I fix it?

Using GPT o1-mini, windows.

in the latest version of composer the green dots that signify a change that was not yet saved or accepted, sometimes light up for no reason. the accept button many times doesn’t do anything and I’m unsure if I already applied that file or not, is it the same issue you guys see in chat? looks like composer is buggy in this regard as well. The ‘save’ should appear after ‘apply’ button, but the button doesn’t get removed in some cases …
