### Where does the bug appear (feature/product)? Cursor IDE ### Describe the Bug When the Cursor Agent performs a file edit, the conversation history displays a clickable “diff” or “changes” block. Historically, clicking this block would automatically open the relevant file and scroll to the changed lines. Currently, clicking these blocks in the chat interface triggers no action. ### Steps to Reproduce 1. Open a project in Cursor and initiate a chat with the Cursor Agent. 2. Ask the agent to modify a specific file (e.g., “Add a function to main.py”). 3. Wait for the agent to complete the task and generate the “Changes” block in the chat interface. 4. Click on the file name or the highlighted changes block within the chat bubble. ### Expected Behavior Clicking the change summary in the chat should immediately open the affected file in the editor and navigate the viewport directly to the specific lines that were modified or added. ### Screenshots / Screen Recordings ![Screenshot 2026-07-07 145407.png](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/cursor1/original/3X/0/e/0ee71311e55fc6a1af3da7edc0bd146747d510df.png) ### Operating System Windows 10/11 ### Version Information Version: 3.10.17 (user setup) VS Code Extension API: 1.125.0 Commit: c89f45b831621cdc5e951694db44fecd8fab1150 Date: 2026-07-05T06:39:45.228Z Layout: IDE Build Type: Stable Release Track: Default Electron: 40.10.3 Chromium: 144.0.7559.236 Node.js: 24.15.0 V8: 14.4.258.32-electron.0 xterm.js: 6.1.0-beta.256 OS: Windows\_NT x64 10.0.26200 ### Does this stop you from using Cursor No - Cursor works, but with this issue ---

Hey, thanks for the detailed report with the screenshot and version. This is a known bug. Clicking the diff or `Changes` block in chat doesn’t open the file or scroll to the changes. It’s on our side, I’ve filed an internal report. I don’t have an exact ETA for a fix yet, but I’ll post an update in the thread as soon as I have one. A couple quick questions to narrow it down: - Does this happen with all files, or only some (for example, if the file was renamed or moved after the edit)? - Does `Ctrl+click` on the filename in the block also not work? For now, as a workaround, you can open the file from the sidebar or via `Ctrl+P`. The changes are there, it’s just the navigation from the block that isn’t working. ---

I can confirm this issue, with two related symptoms after updating to 3.10.17: 1. Sometimes, after Agent edits, no clickable “Changes” list appears in chat at all. 2. Sometimes the “Changes” list is rendered, but clicking file names / diff blocks does nothing (file is not opened in editor). This is intermittent: in some sessions it works, in many cases it doesn’t. Started after the latest update (regression). Environment: Version: 3.10.17 (user setup) VS Code Extension API: 1.125.0 Commit: c89f45b831621cdc5e951694db44fecd8fab1150 Date: 2026-07-05T06:39:45.228Z Layout: IDE Build Type: Stable Release Track: Default Electron: 40.10.3 Chromium: 144.0.7559.236 Node.js: 24.15.0 V8: 14.4.258.32-electron.0 xterm.js: 6.1.0-beta.256 OS: Windows\_NT x64 10.0.26200 Workarounds: - Ctrl+P (Go to File) works reliably. - Developer: Reload Window does NOT help in my case. ---

Hey, thanks for confirming and for sharing the video, it helps. Your second point, the Changes section is there, but clicking a file or diff doesn’t open anything, is the same bug I already reported in this thread. It’s on our side and we’re tracking it. Your first point, after the agent makes edits the Changes section sometimes doesn’t show up at all, looks like a separate issue, not the same as the unresponsive clicks. To avoid mixing two different bugs in one thread and to track them properly, please start a separate thread for Changes list not showing up. You can attach the same video and mention how often it happens, like every Nth session, specific kinds of edits, etc. The workaround is still the same, open the file via `Ctrl+P`. Thanks for noting that `Reload Window` doesn’t help, that’s a useful detail. ---

Hi, Thanks for the update and for flagging this internally. Here are the answers to your questions: 1. Does this happen with all files, or only some? It happens with every file change 2. Does Ctrl+click (or Cmd+click on macOS) on the filename in the block work? No, it still does not work. Thanks for the workaround, I am currently using the sidebar to navigate to the files in the meantime. ---

Thanks for checking, this is exactly what I needed. The fact that it doesn’t work for any files and Ctrl+click is also a no-op is a useful detail. It means this isn’t about renamed or moved files, it’s about navigation from the block itself. I added that to the report. ---

Note: in older chat sessions, clicking Changes blocks often still works; the problem is more common in recent chats. ---

Additional detail: after fully closing and reopening Cursor, clickability is lost mostly for newer Changes/diff blocks. In some older chat sessions, clickability can also disappear. ---

I have the same problem too. When I click the diff, it doesn’t open the relevant file. For me, this is one of the main points I use cursor over agentic because it allows me to understand and learn what the AI is doing. Please fix it ASAP. ---
**Author:** ![Alphayellowcat](https://sea3.discourse-cdn.com/cursor1/user_avatar/forum.cursor.com/alphayellowcat/32/57519_2.png) [@Alphayellowcat](https://forum.cursor.com/u/Alphayellowcat)\ **Post date:** [July 9, 2026, 2:52am UTC](https://forum.cursor.com/t/cursor-agent-diff-change-links-unresponsive/164994/17 "2026-07-09T02:52:54Z")
Same issue here. From what I’ve observed, this has been getting worse across recent updates. At first, only some inline file links stopped navigating to the source location. In the latest version, both inline file links and diff/change preview links no longer navigate at all. This makes reviewing Agent changes much harder, especially when working across multiple files. I’ve reproduced this on multiple Windows machines, so it does not seem to be a local configuration issue. ---

Thanks everyone for confirming, especially for the details about how it behaves in new vs old chats and that `Reload Window` doesn’t help. Confirmed, this is the same bug with clicks in the diff or `Changes` block. It’s on our side and we’re already tracking it. I can now see it also affects macOS thanks to @Mark4, and I’ve added that to the report. I can’t share an exact ETA for a fix yet, but I’ll post an update in the thread as soon as I have one. For now the workaround is the same on both platforms: open the file via `Ctrl+P` on Windows or `Cmd+P` on macOS, or open it from the sidebar. The changes are still there, it’s only the navigation from the block that’s broken. One quick note on thread hygiene: if your `Changes` list doesn’t show up at all after agent edits, not just that it can’t be clicked, that’s a different issue. It’s better to track that in a separate thread, there’s already one here: [Agent "Changes" list sometimes missing; blocks not clickable after restart (Windows, 3.10.17)](https://forum.cursor.com/t/agent-changes-list-sometimes-missing-blocks-not-clickable-after-restart-windows-3-10-17/165004) ---

Hey, thanks for the update. @ojcobb is a good sign that navigation is working again in the latest build. To make sure the fix reached everyone, please update to the latest version via `Help > Check for Updates` or reinstall from the website, then check if clicking a diff or `Changes` block opens the file. If it still doesn’t work after updating, reply here and include: - your Cursor version via `Help > About` or copy it from the menu - your OS Windows or macOS That’ll help me confirm if this is fully fixed or if it still happens on some setups. Until we’ve confirmed it on a few machines, the workaround is the same: open the file via `Ctrl+P` on Windows, `Cmd+P` on macOS, or from the sidebar. ---
