Hey, thanks for the detailed report. A couple of quick follow-up questions before we dig in. This will help narrow down the possible causes. 1. Before this started happening, did you use Agent or any AI features (Cmd+K, Tab, Apply) in these same files during this session (or a previous one)? There’s a known issue where diff reviews from past agent runs can “stick” to files and show up later, even when you’re editing manually. 2. Does this happen in a completely new project with no AI usage at all, or only in projects where the agent previously made changes? 3. Are you using a multi-root workspace (more than one root folder)? If it turns out agent changes were applied earlier, it’s probably a variant of [this known issue](https://forum.cursor.com/t/151723), where stale diff reviews don’t get cleared properly. A few workarounds that often help: - Close the specific chats where those reviews were originally created - Stage and commit the files, this sometimes resets the Keep/Undo state - As a last resort: rename the file, fully quit Cursor, reopen it, then rename it back If this is really happening with no prior AI involvement, that’s a different bug, and I’ll pass it to the team. Let me know. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.cursor.com/t/keep-file-undo-file-prompt-keeps-appearing-on-manually-edited-files/152661)._
