Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

If the agent (in the editor view) prompts you with a command and you change the command before approving it, the original command will be executed.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Do something that makes Cursor want to run a command (i.e. ask it to execute tests)
  2. Change the command it wants to run

Expected Behavior

The modified command should be used

Additional Information

In the screenshot you can see that the agent proposed “cargo test” and I changed it to “ls”, but it executed “cargo test” anyway

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, thanks for the report.

You’re on version 2.2.7, while the current version is 2.2.20. Could you update to the latest version (Help → Check for Updates) and see if the issue still reproduces?

If the bug persists on 2.2.20, let me know - I’ll pass it to the dev team to fix.

Hi Dean, thanks for the response.

I updated to the newest version and still faced the issue:

Hello, Any Updates?
I have the same issue

No, I’m also still getting it, too. If it wants to run a command you don’t approve of your only choice is rejecting it.

I am disappointed by just how little attention they seem to give defects, and by how often they break core functionality.
