Confirmation modal once editing previous messages removed

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

I’m using MacOS, yesterday I updated Cursor and now the agent mode is working completely different. Before the update we could edit a previous message sent and change details of the prompt, after that a confirmation dialog appeared to confirm if we wanted to discard all the changes and re-send the prompt or if we wanted to keep the changes made so far, this was super useful specially when agents can’t seem to achieve 100% accuracy we could edit the propmt and keep the correct change interrumpting the agent.

This is crucial and commiting is not a good practice, the commit count would increase by a factor of 30 times considering we are use millions of tokens in a couple of days or even hours. Please fix this, this was one of the main differences between Claude Code and Cursor and now you have removed one of the best features.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Start agent mode and add a comment at the top of a file
  2. Edit the prompt and re-send
  3. The changes will be applied automatically instead of asking for confirmation

Expected Behavior

It should open a confirmation modal to let the user slect if he needs to discard all changes up top that point or keep them just like before.

Hey, thanks for the report. Looks like a regression in 2.1.48.

We need a bit of data to reproduce:

  • A short video: edit a previous message → Resend → no confirmation modal, changes apply immediately
  • Let us know if the Review screen with diffs appears at all, or if edits always apply without it
  • Does it happen if you send a new message, not edit an old one
  • Logs from Help > Toggle Developer Tools > Console during the repro
  • If possible, attach the list of files that were automatically changed

Temporary workaround:

Once I get the video and logs, I’ll pass this to the team. Thanks!
