Hey, thanks for the report. This is a known issue. diffs from Review don’t get cleared if you commit using external Git clients like Fork.

Related threads:

- [AI Agent review file list keeps stale files and doesn’t sync with git status](https://forum.cursor.com/t/145914)
- [Past agent suggestions don’t disappear](https://forum.cursor.com/t/151723)

A few workarounds that helped other users:

1. Close the specific chats where those reviews were created. Sometimes this resets the diffs linked to them.
2. Go back to the old chat and accept the changes from there.
3. Copy the whole file content (`Ctrl+A`, `Ctrl+C`), then undo until the diffs disappear (Ctrl+Z), then paste it back `Ctrl+V`. This clears the “stuck” state.

About the issue where “Review next file” jumps to the wrong file, like a .svg with no changes instead of the next unreviewed file, that’s a separate bug. Can you share the Request ID from the chat where it happens? (Chat context menu \> Copy Request ID)

The team is aware of the “stuck” review issue. We don’t have an ETA yet, but your report helps with prioritization. Let me know if any of the workarounds helped.
