Breaks indentations, multiple new lines

[orbisius]

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

breaks indentations usually fewer indets than code, adds multiple new lines when code is removed. also removes/adds indents around return keyword.
doesn’t really follow the rules set in the settings.
I keep asking it t to stop checking for === false and use php’s empty() method instead and it keeps forgetting in the next 1-2-3 chats!

I am using it in php based project.

For AI issues: which model did you use?

it’s auto, not sure.

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, thanks for the report. Could you let me know which model you’re using?

[orbisius]

I always use the default/auto

Could you share the request ID? You’ll need to disable privacy mode first.

I think it’s this. Does it give you enough info?

hmm, disabled the privacy mode but it gave me the same hash.

do I disable privacy mode, wait to hear from you and then reenable it ?

[orbisius]

I added some custom rules (global) and it seems cursor checks them and reformats the content now but it’s a hack.

Anther question: WHY do I have to ACCEPT the code I just typed???

[orbisius]

another thing. can you make Cursor REMEMBER the font size for the whole thing and chat ??
I increase the font size using CTRL and + so I can actually see the chat. Yes. I set the chat font size but it’s still too small. So everytime I open Cursor I have to again adjust the font size
