Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

Cursor sometimes doesn’t give me a diff/approval flow when making changes, it just makes them and they are applied immediately

Steps to Reproduce

Haven’t figured out how/when this happens yet. It’s maybe 5% off the time I ask it to do something, and not sure what triggers it.

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, thanks for the report.

To help us narrow it down, please share:

  • Which mode are you using? (Agent/Plan/Custom)
  • Which file types get modified without review?
  • Any pattern you’ve noticed - specific requests, models, or file types?
  • Console logs next time it happens: Cmd+Shift+P → “Developer: Toggle Developer Tools” → Console tab

The review flow should always appear. If it’s being skipped randomly, that’s a bug we should investigate.

I’m using Agent mode with Auto model. The file type depends on what I am working on, sometimes it is python files and sometimes it is .tsx or .ts files (doesn’t seem to be file dependent if thats why you ask, have had it happen with many file types). Haven’t noticed any patterns no.

This just happened again approving many files. Definitely agree this is a pretty big issue and should be looked into! Newest request id where this happened: 3ff7d535-9cdf-47a9-be6f-5031d3fd9af1

Attached my console logs for the above request id

Thanks for providing the additional request IDs and console logs! This is really helpful.

Since the review flow should always appear for Agent changes, this is definitely a bug we need to investigate. I’m escalating this to the engineering team.

If you notice any additional patterns when it happens (specific types of requests, file operations, or timing), please share them here.

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

Hello, I use Cursor IDE to work with my codebase. I have been facing an issue with my Cursor IDE from some time. I ask it to write some code in the side panel chat, it does that but doesn’t asks for review many times and just makes the changes. If it edits 3 files then sometimes I get review option for one or two files, and in others the changes are already accepted by Cursoe without my review.

Steps to Reproduce

I just ask in chat to implement some code, and this happens mostly but not always.

In a similar vein, I have also seen it make code changs pretty often using cli commands like vim and echo, which also bypasses the diff/approval flow

@sanjeed5 Any update on this one? This is a pretty bad one too
