please bring back this feature Cursor.

I’ve run into the same issue, and it’s making me want to stop using Cursor altogether.

Can you please tell which version to downgrade to ?
I downgraded to version 2.4 (2.4.37), but after installing and launching Cursor, it still automatically updates and upgrades to version 2.5.20. I tried to restrict the automatic update by revoking the permissions of inno_updater.exe under the path AppData\Local\Programs\cursor\tools, but it doesn’t seem to work.

Same problem with 2.4.37 for me
downgraded to 2.4 (on windows) .. make sure to cleanly delete 2.5
Also having this problem in a single-root workspace.
Behaviors:
- Auto-accepting parts of changes so that undos don’t undo everything
- Some sort of cache-like issue (“Review next file” changes showing for changes that have already been made)
I’ve had to resort to Git-committing before I use Cursor in case it leaves stuff in there I didn’t want.

Same issue for me.
The accept & reject button is gone. It just make the changes & I can’t accept or reject changes.
I am on windows machine.
As I updated to new version, things are not working. Please help
Same problem here, no accept & reject buttons.
The changes are directly made in the source files, very frustrating.

same problem. taking me off my mind
Yes, this also frustrates me. It’s not something a mature company would do—too hastily remove a feature.
Same issue for a few days. AI auto applies changes instead of asking for review. By the way, when AI creates a new file, it works correctly and asks for review as expected.

I’m seeing the same issue in 2.5.20 and I just manually installed 2.5.22, still the same problem. I don’t see any review controls (Undo/Keep) for agent changes.
Issue present in:
And in:
Note: Cursor didn’t offer 2.5.22 via the auto-updater for me, so I installed it manually from Cursor · Download to test.
Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?
Cursor IDE
Describe the Bug
When the chatbot is thinking, sometimes it will generate code and silently auto-apply it without my explicit approval.
For example, yesterday…
- In the chat, it generated an example block of code but didn’t adjust the actual source code yet. That block of code was useful and only affected one method
- It asked if I wanted it to implement those changes and I said yes
- All of the changes to that block of code were setup in the source itself and prompted me to apply/approve those changes
- Problem is it chose to adjust a timeout value in a distant method to an insanely large value but did NOT prompt me to apply. The change was added silently
- I then wasted about 20 minutes trying to track down why my software was seemingly hanging
Steps to Reproduce
Beyond having it generate code, I’m not totally sure how to reproduce. I’m not sure steps 1 and 2 in the description are a prerequisite to this bug occurring. Perhaps it has to do with diffs that are particularly short but not sure
Expected Behavior
If it generates code, it needs to ask permission before applying every single time

It might have occurred previously when set to auto
Does this stop you from using Cursor
No - Cursor works, but with this issue
same 2.5.20, please fix this is very annoying
Hey everyone,
This should now be resolved in 2.5.25, which is rolling out now. Really sorry about the bug and the delay in getting the fix out.

latest version is still 2.5.20 for me.
this bug is killing me.
this is my story every day:
update notification every 10 hours → hitting ok, update it → annoying bug starts to auto-apply → downgrade to 2.4
And next day: the same story
