Cursor IDE Describe the Bug I frequently just commit changes made by cursor, making the auto accept feature very helpful Only it hasn’t been working in weeks and is getting very annoying. I don’t know if this is related to the [new review changes](https://forum.cursor.com/t/i-despise-the-new-review-workflow/145687/7) or what but it is quite annoying. On top of that, I open files I haven’t edited in days even and there are pending/change diffs all over it with no way to accept them all I even though I have no c… To summarize, there is a setting to Auto-Accept agent edits on Commit (see screenshot). However, this does not actually work, requiring the user to manually accept/undo individual agent edits, or press the keep all button when relevant. ### Steps to Reproduce 1. Verify that the setting “Auto-Accept on Commit” is enabled. 2. Instruct an agent to edit a file. 3. Commit the changes in the git repository found in the Primary Side Bar. ### Expected Behavior “Automatically accept all changes when files are committed and no longer in the worktree” ### Screenshots / Screen Recordings ![Screenshot 2026-02-06 100932.png](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/cursor1/original/3X/d/2/d29b0fde791702e7eb1bca6294704ee985f4c26d.png) ### Operating System Windows 10/11 ### Version Information Version: 2.4.28 (system setup) VSCode Version: 1.105.1 Commit: f3f5cec40024283013878b50c4f9be4002e0b580 Date: 2026-02-03T00:56:18.293Z Build Type: Stable Release Track: Default Electron: 39.2.7 Chromium: 142.0.7444.235 Node.js: 22.21.1 V8: 14.2.231.21-electron.0 OS: Windows\_NT x64 10.0.26100 ### Additional Information Alternatively, it would be good for there to be a setting that could optionally turn off the tracking, accepting, and undoing of agent edits from the chat panel or file editor. At least for my workflow, interacting with the git diff, committing files to “accept” the changes, and discarding changes when I want to “undo” them is the better way to monitor agent edits. ### Does this stop you from using Cursor No - Cursor works, but with this issue ---

Hey, thanks for the report and for the links to the previous threads. I can see the screenshot with the setting, it’s enabled correctly. The team is aware of this issue. We fixed some cases in 2.4, but it looks like not all of them. Can you check the Developer Console (Help \> Toggle Developer Tools) after the commit and send any errors you see? In similar reports we often saw something like: ```txt [composer] Error getting commits for auto-accept: Error: Error fetching commit details... ``` That’ll help us figure out if this is the same bug or a variation. ---

@deanrie sorry I didn’t follow up on your reply. That one slipped through the cracks. It looks like this issue might now be fixed in the most recent update: Version: 2.4.36 (system setup) VSCode Version: 1.105.1 Commit: f9919bf991f247689f9ead605b5c5a3239a2a790 Date: 2026-02-12T21:00:33.976Z Build Type: Stable Release Track: Default Electron: 39.2.7 Chromium: 142.0.7444.235 Node.js: 22.21.1 V8: 14.2.231.21-electron.0 OS: Windows\_NT x64 10.0.26100 I observed that the review section disappears entirely when that setting is enabled and you commit to the repository. With the setting disabled, nothing happens. I didn’t test any edge cases, like when some changes were manually undone or edited or selectively not included in the commit. But at least for the most common case where the changes are being committed after the chat finishes output without needing any modifications, this appears to be working now. ---
