Cursor doesn't highlight agent changes

[lp1641 (Edgar)]

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

After transition to 2.5 sometimes changes aren’t highlighted even if I haven’t accepted them yet.
It’s really hard to navigate through changes without highlight.
Some changes are highlighted, some not.

Steps to Reproduce

Can’t tell for sure. It happens when I use the agent.

Expected Behavior

Use Cursor Agent and sometimes you’ll see that there is no highlight.

Hey, this is a known issue in 2.5.x. A few users have already reported the same thing. Only the first agent change shows up as a diff, and the rest get applied without highlighting.

Main thread here: Only some diffs are shown when agent makes changes

The team is aware and is already looking into it. For now, you can use the Review panel (the Review button in chat) to see all changes, although it’s not a full replacement for inline diffs.

Let me know if you notice anything else.
