Hey, thanks for the detailed report. This looks like an issue with rendering inline elements in the Glass or Agents Window. The team knows about this cluster, but on Linux, where none of the cards show up at all approval, snippet, confirmation until a restart, it looks broader than usual. There’s no ETA for a fix yet.

For now, a couple of workarounds:

  • Ctrl+Shift+P → Developer: Reload Window often re-syncs state and brings the cards back.
  • To view and accept changes right now, open Changes via Ctrl+E. You’ll see all modified files with a diff against HEAD, same content as the inline card.
  • On Linux, the pattern where elements don’t render until restart is sometimes related to GPU compositing. Try launching with --disable-gpu to disable Hardware Acceleration, and tell me if it helps.

To narrow down your case, we need:

  • A Request ID from one of those requests. Privacy Mode is currently enabled, which reduces diagnostics. Turn it off in Cursor Settings, reproduce the issue, then send the Request ID right top corner of the chat > Copy Request ID.
  • Whether step 3 --disable-gpu helped.
