Chat now hides code changes. Only shows file

[Sam_Bowen-Hughes]

Describe the Bug

Before, when the Cursor agent was making changes in the chat bar, it would show the actual code changes inline. Now it only shows me a summary of file changes. To see the code, I have to click into the file change, which makes it harder to quickly review what the agent is doing.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open Cursor.
2. Start a chat with the agent.
3. Ask the agent to make a code change.
4. Observe that instead of showing the code snippet directly in the chat, it only lists the file name and requires clicking to expand.

Expected Behavior

When the agent makes changes, I expect to see the code snippets (diffs or inserted code) inline in the chat message, just like it used to, without needing to click to expand file changes.

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, maybe you have the compact mode enabled. Set it to full.
