Cursor endless loop of file change

Bug Report
1

This just started happening to me and is driving me nuts. In certain files, if I make a change, cursor reverts them back within a second, and then reverts back to my change and on and on.

This is the output from Cursor Git Graph:

I just updated cursor tonight but the issue still persists

  1. this looks really bad.
  2. Doesnt seem likely that it is from the git graph (The gitgraph say isEnabled: false) Do you have any other reason to believe it is the git graph? There are no indexers so git graph is probably a no-op.
  3. Can you please send more logs? does it happen if you download older versions. here is 0.39:

I was rather frantically trying to figure out what was going on, so I started looking at the Cursor processes output, this was the only one that I could really correlate as it seemed to be somewhat in sync with the file constantly jumping back and forth.

I’ll collect a bit more of logs and send it to you, then I’ll try the older version.

Ok this output below from Cursor Tab it seems in sync with this happening also.

Here’s a video:

It’s a package.json file that this happening in right now, if that… makes any difference.

Downloaded the the 0.39 version, seems to happen there also, but … almost only in this package.json file I keep editing

6

This is basically still happening to me, and I have to resort to go back to VSCode if I need to modify that specific package.json file, and force close Cursor or it keeps changing the file.

I’m now on 0.40.3

7

I’m seeing the same issue on 0.41.3.
