In the previous version 0.41.3 a code update to my file it would apply it to the correct file. An update came I accepted the update. when it reopened this started happening. Now it creates a new file in a new folder with the updated code. I uninstalled and reinstalled the previous version and the …

Thank you by the way, I was using sonnet 3.5.

I have the same issue, last week when i was working i didn’t have the issue, for now the solution would be to just copy the text from chat instead of pressing the apply button, it does it with all models it seems…

I have the same issue with claude-3.5-sonnet but it works fine with gpt-4o. When on Sonnet and using Chat, new suggestions always create a new tab and paste the whole code there. They are no longer applied to my code unless I switch models.

Same here on macOS. What helps is if I specifically mention with @ the component or file ai want to modify. But sometimes this is hard to know, all of the files that need updating and I dont want to limit Cursor with that. For simple Python scripts it worked normally. I encountered this while worki…

Same issue. I’m not an engineer so I rely on Cursor to know when to edit vs create new. I frequently end up with duplicate file/folder branches in wrong locations in my file system when using the “Apply” button. Love the software, looking forward to a fix. Thanks.
