Changes being reverted

Support Bug Reports

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

Sometimes I request some changes in my code to Cursor. I saw the changes being executed, but after a few seconds the changes are reverted to the original file.
I have to copy the changes made and insert and save manualy in my code.

Steps to Reproduce

I ask to implement a menu item in _Layout.cshtml, I saw the change happen in editor window while cursor is showing what he has done, bau a few seconds later the changes are reverted and the file go back to original file.

Expected Behavior

That the changes made by cursor in _Layout.cshtml are persisted.

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, thanks for the report. We’d like to gather details and isolate the cause.

Please check:

  • Does the rollback happen when you edit the same file manually, or only after AI actions?
  • Does the rollback happen only with _Layout.cshtml or with other files too?
  • Launch without extensions: cursor --disable-extensions. Does the issue reproduce?
  • Close background watchers and tools that can modify project files (for example, build/watch, nodemon, webpack, dotnet watch), then check again.
  • Turn off Auto Save and format-on-save, try saving manually.
  • Open Developer Tools and collect errors at the moment of rollback: CTRL+Shift+P → Developer: Toggle Developer Tools → Console
  • Open logs: CTRL+Shift+P → Developer: Open Logs Folder, and also check Output panels: Git, Log (Extension Host), Cursor

Please share:

  • A short screencast showing edits and the rollback
  • Exact steps leading up to the rollback
  • You already provided system info, thanks. Add the list of active extensions and their versions
  • Logs from Console and Output channels with timestamps
  • Confirm whether it reproduces on a clean launch without extensions
  • Any additional Request IDs if you can reproduce it again.

Basic troubleshooting steps are collected here: Troubleshooting Guide | Cursor Docs

Let me know if launching without extensions and disabling external watchers helps.

I’ve been getting the same issue, even when I committed it still reverted almost 2 days of work (and a few commits).
It’s starting to happen almost immediately. Any suggestion on how to fix this?
