Hey, yes, sorry about that. We’re releasing an update soon that should fix this issue. In the meantime, you can switch to the previous version. You can download it here:

I too faced this issue.

Executes commands without permission

It looks like the new update has enabled Auto-Run settings by default, or perhaps the update itself turned them on. Previously, I had it disabled during usage. Also, I noticed a UI change, the new version displays a dropdown menu and shifts cursor focus to it. So when I think I am editing code, the focus is actually on the dropdown, and pressing Enter ends up executing the selected command. This behaviour was not present earlier.

I have File-Deletion Protection turned on, and still cursor used the terminal to run “rm -r” without asking, with zero safeguard, a week of progress - gone. Thanks for nothing!
