Ok different modes with a shortcut, but why I would want to introduce fluff into agent context window? I’m changing modes for a reason! Is it too hard to think about it?
I am getting an edit file error, I cannot even use the tool. Yes, these happened after updating the version 4 days ago. I am not updating my subscription. I will try version 45 until it is fixed.
I will rolling back to 0.45 too
Changing modes while working on a project works very well on my end. I start in Agent mode, switch to Ask when I have some questions about the generated code and make precise adjustments in Edit.
0.46 is really a terrible version.
I couldn’t agree more 0.46 is terrible, i have to remind it to use the agents tools, it’s harder to track the files modified, the screen is shared in such a way, it splits the screen for modified files and now i have to scroll vertically and horizontally to read the files.
Shouldn’t the Cursor devs chime in here and say something? I mean, there’s some pretty strong customer feedback in this thread. BTW I also rolled back to 0.45

Yes, I recently discovered this issue as well. After updating Cursor, when connecting to an Overleaf workspace and trying to ask questions about tex documents, only the generate function works properly, while the chat function gets stuck in an infinite loading state. Interestingly, this problem doesn’t occur when opening tex files locally.
I eventually solved this problem by downgrading to an older version of Cursor, which restored normal query functionality on Overleaf.

i have just switched back to cursor from the coding agent whose name cannot be mentioned. things are even worse over there and you cannot roll back! their new Wave4 version sounds great but is literally unusable. compared to that, 0.46 is amazing, but reading this thread i shall be ready to roll back to 0.45. one good thing about the other one is that their discord channel allows people to mention cursor, and any other coding agent. there is widespread discussion and comparison of cursor and others over there. it’s very helpful. ironically it mostly favours cursor.

I’m on 0.45 until this bug is fixed: [BUG] Terminal tool gets stuck after exit code
Someone posted this in the Bug section, i tough its funny and fits to 0.46 issues at the moment. Keep up the work team!

I’m not leaving Version: 0.41.2. I’ve tried every version after this with no luck. Cursor doesn’t ‘see’ files I share, sharing a code block starts a new chat, etc, etc. Version: 0.41.2 is gold, nothing is broken. Such an amazing product, but the releases have not been bug-free.
Any official update if they are working on a solution to this? Form the inside voice here would be helpful.

Unable to prevent Cursor from updating to version 0.46
Hello community
I’m trying to stay on version 0.45 of Cursor, but I’m experiencing issues with automatic updates. Despite following the recommended steps, the application still updates to version 0.46.
Steps I’ve already taken:
- Downloaded version 0.45 from the official Cursor website (Downloads | Cursor - The AI Code Editor)
- Installed the application
- Attempted to disable automatic updates by:
- Opening Settings → VS Code Settings
- Searching for “update”
- Setting “Update: Mode” to “none”
Despite these actions, Cursor continues to update to version 0.46 automatically.
Is there another method to prevent automatic updates? Or is there a specific reason why version 0.45 can no longer be maintained?
Thank you for your assistance.

So far, setting “Update: Mode” to “Manual” is keeping auto updates at bay for me.
OK, I’m here because I’m frustrated with 4.6 not being able to see the context I add and taking forever to find the context (failing tool calls twice after 5 seconds, and then grepping the files to just read 50-100 lines, and forgetting the larger scope of what it’s currently doing). But I kinda like Claude 3.7 thinking. If I roll back to 4.5, can I still use Claude 3.7?
Update: Maybe the problem is actually a Windows issue. Because I remember .46 feeling awesome when it first rolled out, but I just spent the last 5 days traveling with a Windows laptop. I got back on my mac tonight and suddenly .46 was working again.
I just rolled back to 0.45 and what a relief. I’d just say that if I had evaluated cursor with version 0.46 for the first time, I would never understand why there are so many good things being told about you.
I used to give a prompt, do my own other things, and then return to go ahead. But, since 0.46, most of the time the task I asked for was not completed, it got lost, and it does not matter how I would ask, it would always spin around on random tasks, until it gets stuck.
The most annoying for the is the “goal changed” issue. Meaning, I ask to fix one thing, then it gets lost going to a complete different direction, and finish saying: there is still a few <…> issues, but since my goal is to (some random goal that it got into while working on the requested issue), then I do not need to do anything for <…>. But <…> was exactly what I had asked at first, and I end up with lots of code changes, and the same (and new issues) still pending.
The 0.46 makes code-assisted AI to be a stupid choice to be made, as I find myself spending more time trying to get something done through it than doing it myself. As 0.45 is still awesome, I am looking forward to seeing Cursor back on track.

I have just moved onto Cursor in the last month, 0.45 has been amazing - I never knew what I was missing out on.
However, 0.46, and all of a sudden my auto code completes very rarely work. To the point I am most often left with just default VSCode suggestions (which are so poor, and PyCharm is much, much better at).
So what am I paying for? Thank god I came across this thread, as I’ve literally just had the same fight with PyCharm (had to hold back a version to stop breaking changes) and so long it was breaking extensions.
If Cursor does the same that I can’t keep with the latest without issues, I’m out - I’ll be looking for another IDE.

FIX FOR THOSE LOOKING FOR THE OLD CHAT
- Go to VS Code Settings and type
Update:Mode→ Change this toNone - Go to Downloads | Cursor - The AI Code Editor and download your Computer types version of 0.45 (not 0.46 this is the new one).
- On Mac I am able to simply close all Cursor instances, and click on the .dmg file and install it, it will simply overwrite my new 0.46 version with the old 0.45 version but WILL KEEP my extensions, settings, etc.
