Does this stop you from using Cursor
No - Cursor works, but with this issue
Ac tually I think the editor (since the introduction of the agents window) has a refresh problem
HEre I remove the folder
the folder is removed
but the app still keeps on showing it
This is a known bug - our team is tracking it. The inline diff decorations sometimes fail to render after agent changes, requiring a restart or refocus to appear. You’re not the only one hitting this.
A workaround that’s helped some users:
-
Go to Cursor Settings > Agents > Inline Diffs
-
Toggle it off, then back on
-
Restart Cursor
If that doesn’t resolve it, let us know.
Regarding the file explorer not updating after you deleted nemotron-master in the terminal — that may be a separate issue with the file watcher not picking up external changes. Does it refresh on its own after a few seconds, or does it stay stale until you restart?
Hi Thanks for your message
Actually yes, your fix helps. I checked with Gemini and it said the same thing.
BTW - for repos connected with source control, this does not occur. Only when you are in a standalone disconnected project
