File Change in Chat cannot be opened by click

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

When Cursor shows a file change in the chat, clicking the file header (the section displaying the file name and the +xx/-xx line changes) no longer opens the file in the editor.

Steps to Reproduce

Let Cursor edit an existing file or create a new one.
In the chat, locate the generated file change.
Click the file header (where the file name and the +xx/-xx diff summary are displayed).

Expected Behavior

Clicking the file header should open the corresponding file in the Cursor editor panel.

Hi @NZ_Bayard Thank you for the post! This is a known bug, and we’ll let you know any updates on it!

Sorry for the inconvenience.

I have the same issue. This is a major productivity killer for my daily work. In fact, one of the reasons I prefer Cursor over other editors is this simple feature.

Yes ! Please solve this one. it’s a major annoyance.

edit:
Found a backup workaround !
Right click > Add to chat > Open the file from the chat
Doesn’t point to the exact edit from the chat, but can use the lines numbers and it’s a bit less of a pain.

We have eyes on it! Thank you for your patience

+1, I actually find cursor unusable due to this breakage. When can we expect a fix?

Thanks for looking into it.
Please let us know here when there is an update

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

After updating Cursor to version 3.10.20 on Windows 11, code references generated by the Agent are no longer clickable.

Expected behavior:
When the Agent mentions a file (for example, models/crm_lead.py or views/crm_lead_views.xml), clicking the reference should open the file and navigate to the corresponding location.

Actual behavior:
Clicking the file reference does nothing.

Environment:

  • Cursor IDE 3.10.20 (Stable)
  • Windows 11
  • Agent mode
  • Build: IDE

Troubleshooting performed:

  • Restarted Cursor
  • Reloaded the window
  • Restarted the Extension Host
  • Checked Cursor and VS Code settings
  • Verified there are no disabled settings related to code references
  • Opened Developer Tools and found Extension Host warnings, but the issue persists

This feature worked correctly before updating to version 3.10.20.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open Cursor IDE (version 3.10.20) on Windows 11.
  2. Open any project.
  3. Open the Agent chat.
  4. Ask the Agent to modify or create a file.
  5. Wait for the Agent to finish and display the modified file(s) in the chat.
  6. Click on any file reference shown in the Agent response (for example, models/example.py or views/example.xml).
  7. Observe that nothing happens. The file is not opened and Cursor does not navigate to the referenced location.

Expected Behavior

When clicking a file reference in the Agent chat, Cursor should open the corresponding file and navigate to the referenced location or line.
