CSS Inspector "Apply" behaviour

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

I’m starting to use the helpful WYSIWYG “CSS Inspector” to make some changes. What I’m confused about now is what I should do once I change a value in the side panel. Now that I click “Apply” on the button that appears, in the agent chat the command begins automatically, but I don’t understand what should happen when the agent finishes the edit because the option I see in the attached image remains visible even after the agent completes the edit and I “keep” those changes.

Steps to Reproduce

  • I open the CSS Inspector pane
  • Find and select the element I want to edit in the browser preview
  • Edit a CSS value
  • Click “Apply” in the UI appearing on the right side of the integrated browser
  • After the agents perform the edits and I press on “Keep,” the “Undo” and “Apply” buttons remain visible.

Expected Behavior

I’d expect that after the agent performs and I keep those edits, that back icon “Undo” and “Apply” option buttons will disappear.

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, thanks for the report.

I see a screenshot with the Undo and Apply buttons staying visible after editing is done. That does look like a UI state bug in the CSS Inspector. The buttons should disappear after you press Keep.

I’ll pass this to the engineering team. It doesn’t block using the feature, but it does affect UX. You can keep working with the CSS Inspector - just ignore those buttons after applying changes.

Thanks for flagging this!

Hi Dean, thanks for your support. Regarding the “block,” it does affect me as a blocker, because to use CSS Inspect again, and to be sure the “Apply” will work just on the latest update, I need to open and close the app.
