Describe the Bug
Every time updating .mdc files (within .cursor\rules) the preset changes back to manual.
Steps to Reproduce
Create a .mdc file and set it to “Apply Intelligently” or “Always Apply”. Put instructions regarding some component or workflow.
Then refactor the file or update it with agent (sonnet or opus).
Expected Behavior
It doesn’t happen every time, but after agent completes task, the preset changes back to “Apply Manual”.

Does this stop you from using Cursor
No - Cursor works, but with this issue
