Cursor changing file line endings causing too many Git changes

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

After the latest update, Cursor seems to be converting files it touches from CRLF to LF, even files it has just read and hasn’t changed. This happens on both my home and work PC only after installing the latest update

Steps to Reproduce

Prompt Cursor to do something, watch your Git changes and you should see files pop up as modified with 0 changes, as their line endings have been changed by Cursor but nothing else

Expected Behavior

Original line endings should be retained

Operating System

Windows 10/11

Version Information

Cursor IDE 3.0.16

For AI issues: which model did you use?
