Cursor no longer highlights modified files

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

When code changes are applied, the IDE doesn’t display the button that shows which files have been modified. In practice, it applies the changes automatically, making it difficult to see what has been changed. This is a serious flaw—I need to be able to see the modified parts and choose whether to accept them or not. This was a bug that occurred some time ago and had been fixed, but now it’s back.

Steps to Reproduce

Ask the AI for a feature.

Expected Behavior

Make sure the button for browsing modified files is visible and that the modified code is highlighted.

Operating System

Windows 10/11

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, this isn’t a bug, it’s a setting. After updating to 3.x, there’s a popup that says “Enable auto-keep”. If you click it, Inline Diffs get turned off, and changes apply without the review buttons.

To get the review UI back:

Cursor Settings > Agents > Applying Changes > Inline Diffs, turn the toggle on.

If it doesn’t work right away, turn it off and back on, then restart Cursor.

Let me know if that fixed it. If not, we’ll dig deeper.
