Non-auto-approved commands now auto-rejected after update to 2.4.5

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

After update to 2.4.5 today, most commands that are not auto-approved are being auto-rejected without providing an option to approve the command. I’ve tried different agents, including the “auto” setting. I’ve gone through cursor settings but I don’t see anywhere that would have an auto-reject option. This is just some sort of strange behavior that was introduced on the last update.

Steps to Reproduce

Use the @commit Cursor command to attempt to create and push commit with message. Auto-approved commands like git status and git log work fine, but when creating a command to git add ... && git commit -m ... the command is automatically rejected and never runs. I’m also seeing this happen with other unrelated commands.

Expected Behavior

Allow me to review and click “approve”, as before.

Does this stop you from using Cursor

Sometimes - I can sometimes use Cursor
(I’m going to put this on the border of unusable - yes, I can get around it, but I’m not getting the features of Cursor that make it worth using, and this makes me want to use other options until it’s fixed)

Updated to 2.4.7 - problem seems resolved.

Side note: hitting “return” to run a command still not working as expected. Hitting return/enter does nothing.
