There is a problem when I click on “Review.” Previously, the modified files would appear, then I would click “Commit,” and it would automatically generate the commit message and push it to Git.

Hey, thanks for the report. This is a known issue. Several users have reported similar behavior where Review shows “No pending changes” even though files were modified.
A few questions to narrow this down:
Were the changes made by Agent in chat, or did you edit the files manually?
Is your git repo at the workspace root, or in a subfolder?
Had you already committed these changes before clicking Review?
In the meantime, here are a couple of workarounds:
If your git repo is in a subfolder, try opening that subfolder directly in Cursor (File > Open Folder). Review usually works correctly in that case.
You can also use the Source Control tab (the branch icon in the sidebar) to review and commit your changes directly through Git.
The team is aware of this. Let me know the answers above and we’ll go from there.
Yes, all the changes were made by the agent.
Yes, the Git repository is at the workspace root.
It used to work before, but now it is not working anymore.
I also noticed something else: sometimes it does not pick up all the updates made during the conversation. It only checks the last part of the chat, which may not contain any file changes.
For example, I might make several edits through the agent, and then later ask a question in the chat. After that, when I click Review, it shows no changes to commit, even though there were edits earlier in the conversation.
What you’re describing, where Review only picks up the last part of the chat and ignores earlier edits, is a known issue. The team is aware.
For now, as a workaround:
Before you click Review, make sure the agent’s latest message included file changes. If you asked a question after the edits without any file changes, Review might not see the earlier edits.
Use the Source Control tab (the branch icon in the sidebar). It shows all changed files via git and lets you commit directly.
Also, you’re on version 2.5.20 (Feb 2026). There have been a few updates since then. Check for updates via Help > Check for Updates. There’s a chance some of this is already fixed in a newer version.
Let me know if the issue still happens after updating.
I can see the issue still reproduces on 2.6.22. The team has it on their radar, and your report helps with prioritization. There’s no specific ETA yet.
For now, the most reliable option is to use the Source Control tab (the branch icon in the sidebar) for review and commit. Review in the agent chat is unfortunately still unstable, especially when messages without file changes come after edits.
I’ll update the thread when there’s news. Let me know if anything changes on your side.
