Not reporting all changed/create files. Changing files without reporting it's changes

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

When implementing a plan or building a feature Cursor no longer correctly reports the files that have been changed or created.

This is a pretty critical failure, as cursor is making changes without a way to verify what those changes where.

Steps to Reproduce

Make edits with cursor that touch multiple files, observe that it doesn’t report those files as changed, or provide a way to review it’s changed.

Expected Behavior

It should display it’s changed

Operating System

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

I would consider this to be unsafe, however.

This sounds similar to a widely reported issue: Only some diffs are shown whhen agent makes changes

Hey, this is a known issue. The agent only shows diffs for part of the changes, and the rest get applied without highlighting. More details and discussion here: Only some diffs are shown when agent makes changes

The team is aware. For now, as a workaround:

  • Check changes with git diff or the Source Control tab
  • Use the Review button in chat
  • Before big agent sessions, make a commit so you can roll back with git checkout if something goes wrong

Let me know if this still happens after the next update.
