Describe the Bug
I accepted an update to Cursor today. After that, the AI assistant can’t edit any file using the edit_file tool.
- The edit_file tool consistently fails to write proper content to files, instead writing only a single space character.
- This occurs even when writing to existing files.
- The run_terminal_cmd (which uses the shell) successfully writes files without issues.
- File system permissions (checked with ls -la) appear correct.
- The issue persists after re-adding folder permissions and restarting Cursor.
- I am running macOS, and am not comfortable with granting Full Disk Access.
Steps to Reproduce
Any action where AI assistant tries to write a file.
Expected Behavior
Writing to files using the edit_file tool.
