I’ve noticed that Gemini is having trouble making edits in agent mode. It will usally say something like this:

“It seems the edit wasn’t applied. I’ll reapply.”

Reapplied changes [filename]

“Okay, the reaply seems to have partially worked but also made some incorrect changes…”  
[consolidates changes]  
“I will now attempt to apply these consolidated changes.”

[filename] No changes made

“Unfortunately the consolidated edit also failed to apply. It seems the complexity of the required changes is preventing the automated edits from working reliably.” [suggests making the edits manually.]

Then later, with a more simple edit:

“Okay, I will apply the correction in [filename].”

[filename] No changes made

“The edit failed to apply. Let’s try reapplying.”

Reapplied changes [filename]

"It seems the automatic edits are consistently failing for this file.  
“Please manually replace the code block in [filename] …” [further instructions]

“Apologies for the difficulties with the automatic edits.”

Has anybody else experienced this, or found a fix with custom instructions?

I get this all the time. It’s beyond painful. Often I end up restarting Cursor and it works. Seriously, this is meant to be AI ☹

i see this a lot with gemini, had to switch to a different model, which comes with its own set of issues. sometimes gemini offers edits but applies only partially, with no way to finish the rest
