Hey, thanks for the details and screenshot. This looks like the same class of issue with “too agent-like” behavior (related thread: PLAN mode switches to AGENT mode without user input, causes extensive damage) - the team is already investigating.
To track the session accurately, please send:
- Request IDs from this conversation (Chat menu → Copy Request ID; instructions: Getting a Request ID | Cursor Docs). If Privacy Mode is on, temporarily disable it and try again.
- The mode at the time of the edits (Agent/Ask/Plan)
- Step by step: the exact request(s) before changes started, if a Review diff appeared, and if you clicked anything before applying
- Console logs (Help → Toggle Developer Tools → Console) when reproducing
Temporary workarounds to avoid unwanted edits:
- Use Ask Mode (read-only): Modes | Cursor Docs
- For tasks with uncertainty - Plan Mode (should ask clarifying questions) and only run Build manually: Planning | Cursor Docs
- Check diffs via Review before applying: Review | Cursor Docs
- Create a custom command that always asks clarifying questions and “doesn’t edit code without explicit confirmation”: Commands | Cursor Docs
Please send the Request IDs - I’ll pass them to the engineers and link your case to the ongoing investigation.
