Cursor stuck in ASK mode

Describe the Bug

Cursor can no longer edit files when changed back to AGENT mode from ASK mode. This persists even after Cursor is restarted, and after the whole machine is restarted.

Steps to Reproduce

I change to ASK mode for planning, discussing or asking for something. After the proposed logic seems to be pluasible, and if there is any file that needs to be created, edited or updated in the project, I change to AGENT mode, but Cursor can no longer edit project files. It continues as if it is in ASK mode.

Expected Behavior

When in AGENT mode, one expects Cursor to propose changes with “Keep” prompts and then implements the changes, which could be edits in a file or creating a new file etc.

Operating System

Windows 10/11
