Autosave file when editing agent

Describe the Bug

After editing the file by the agent (without pressing Keep), the cursor stopped saving the file automatically!

Steps to Reproduce

After the agent edited the code, the file used to be automatically resaved

Operating System

MacOS

Current Cursor Version (Menu → About Cursor → Copy)

Version: 1.4.3
Fix: 1.99.3
Data: e50823e9ded15fddfd743c7122b4724130c25df0
Electron: 2025-08-08T17:34:53.060Z
ElectronBuildId: 34.5.1
Chromium: undefined
Node.js: 132.0.6834.210
V8: 20.19.0
ОС: 13.2.152.41-electron.0

Additional Information

Before the update, the cursor automatically saved the file when the agent edited it BEFORE accepting the edits.
Thus, it was automatically updated on my sandbox server via sftp, where I could quickly test and either accept the edits or reject them!

Now, after the agent edits, you have to manually save EVERY file using Command+S

Was the function removed somewhere? Why did they touch and change it?

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Are they going to fix the problem? It’s been 3 days and there’s not even an answer! It’s impossible to fully use the editor!
Once again: after the agent corrects the code, the file is not automatically saved BEFORE a decision is made (Keep All)! At the same time, if the agent edits, for example, 5 files, none of them are automatically saved, but if you press Command+S in at least one file, the changes are saved for 5 files at once! That is, as it was before - the agent makes edits and after each edit, the file with the changes is saved to disk and you could test it on the frontend or backend BEFORE Keep All
And now, when the agent has made changes, you need to go inside the file and press Command+S

Do you completely ignore your paying customers? Do you not care at all?

Hey, thanks for the report. Autosave should work by default, but maybe you changed something in the settings. You could also try adjusting the autosave settings.

I didn’t change anything and I always had Auto Save - off
After another update on Mac OS, saving broke (READ CAREFULLY) - when the AGENT edits the file, but I haven’t confirmed the changes yet (I haven’t pressed KEEP!).
For example, in the editor under Windows, I also have Auto Save - OFF, but when the Agent edits the file, it saves the changes (NOT FINAL!) and after that I can press Keep or Reject.
On MACOS, this stopped working after the update. Do you understand what I’m talking about?
And OnFocusChange is something completely different!

facing the same issue. also if i undo on that file without saving it, the entire file code gets messed up. I too never had auto save on, and still after agent made changes, it always saved them, which it doesnt anymore

In addition, I noticed an interesting anomaly. If the agent changed for you, for example, 5 files, then when you press Command+S inside any file, the cursor saves the agent’s changes in all five files at once.
