Modes? Am i stupid?

I’ve been trying to figure out wtf has happened to Cursor since the last update i installed.

Modes: it feels so inconsistent now. Sometimes i dont get the “apply” button. Why?? Agent is also freaking awful.

I think the default mode before was always “manual” am i reading that right? Ask and agent seem pretty painful in my testing.

Overall this latest update feels like a huge step back, i want the cursor i had 2 weeks ago back.
