Are you sure Cursor 2.1 really running VS Code 1.105?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

With the Cursor 2.1 release, the underlying VS Code version is supposedly updated to 1.105. However, it doesn’t seem to actually be based on 1.105 – it feels much closer to 1.99.

For example, features that have been available in VS Code since 1.101, such as file listings for individual commits in the Git Graph view (as described here: View files in Source Control Graph view ), are still missing in Cursor. Similarly, quick diff decorations for staged changes, introduced in VS Code 1.100, are also not present.

This makes me wonder: was there an issue during the update, or is the version bump more symbolic to maintain extension compatibility rather than a proper VS Code upgrade? These features are quite important for my workflow, so I’d appreciate clarification on whether Cursor is truly updated to 1.105.

Steps to Reproduce

Step 1: Open the source control changes tab.
Step 2: In the graph view, click any commit message.
Step 3: See it directly opens all the changes in a multi-buffer view.

Expected Behavior

Expecting to see a list of files at step 3 instead of opening them all at once.

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

In the changelog you have

“VS Code Extension API upgraded to v1.105.1.”

so I hope that clears up any doubts (it’s fake vs version).

I never noticed the “extension” part, this explains everything.

I would still love Cursor team to update the UI-related components as well, that’d be really awesome since some changes are really nice to have, especially git graph stuff I mentioned.

Thanks for the feedback, I’ve passed it on to the team.
