Hey, thanks for the report. There’s a similar issue already being tracked by the team.

To help the investigation, please share:

  • Which files: are these the same files the Agent previously worked on?
  • Extensions test: does it still happen with extensions disabled? Command: cursor --disable-extensions
  • Request ID: from the agent task where this occurred (Chat menu → Copy Request ID)
  • Format settings: is format-on-save enabled or any auto-format extensions (Prettier/ESLint)?

Thanks for the detailed info. As mentioned above, this is a known issue the team is already tracking.

Temporary workaround:

  • Open the modified files and click “Accept all changes” → “Review next file” until all pending Agent changes are accepted. For some users, this prevents the issue from recurring on the next startup.
