Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

In Cursor version 2.5.20, modified code changes are no longer visible during the review stage before approval. The updated or edited sections do not appear in the diff/review panel, making it impossible to properly review changes prior to accepting them.

This significantly impacts the development workflow and creates a high risk of approving unintended or incorrect changes.

Steps to Reproduce

Request the ai model to make some changes to source code.

Expected Behavior

To see the modified code changes button in the bottom middle of the screen like before.

Operating System

Windows 10/11

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

I have the same issue in Version: 2.5.22 (user setup)

4

I have the same problem.

I don’t know why I keep touching this part.

I can’t figure out where it is even though there is a wrong correction.

Same issue here. And not only is the review not showing when it makes changes to accept, it doesn’t seem like you can revert if it actually makes stupid changes.

6

Same issue here. This is a critical error.

Hey, this is a known bug. It’s being tracked in the main thread here: Only some diffs are shown when agent makes changes.

A fix is in progress and should land in an upcoming update. In the meantime:

  • Use the Review panel (the Review button in the bottom-right of the chat) to see all changes
  • Run git diff after each agent run to catch what was auto-applied

Some users have also had luck rolling back to v2.4 as a temporary workaround: cursor.com/download.

Let me know if you have any questions.
