Does this stop you from using Cursor?
The more details you provide, the easier it is for us to reproduce and fix the issue. Thanks!
Hey, thanks for the report.
I’ll need a bit more info to figure this out:
This looks like a timing issue. The system detects the plan.md file as “modified externally” right after it’s created. This could be related to auto-save settings or file sync.
As a temporary workaround, try this: File > Preferences > Settings, search for Auto Save, and switch the mode (for example, from afterDelay to onFocusChange).
Let me know what you find. With that info, I can escalate to the team if needed.
it does not say which file, but i have only plan file open, overwrite or revert seems to do nothing, yes every project, and yes happens in new project as well
Thanks for the extra info. The fact that the Overwrite/Revert buttons don’t work isn’t normal and points to a more serious issue than just a timing problem.
Before escalating, let’s check a few things:
Try an auto-save workaround: Go to File > Preferences > Settings, search for “Auto Save”, then switch the mode (for example, from afterDelay to onFocusChange). After that, restart Cursor and try creating a new plan.
Disable file sync: If you’re using OneDrive, Dropbox, Google Drive, or anything similar that syncs your project folder, temporarily turn it off and see if the issue still happens.
Check antivirus or file monitors: Some antivirus tools or file monitoring apps can block file operations. Try disabling them temporarily.
If none of this helps and the buttons really don’t respond, please share a screenshot of Developer Tools (Help > Toggle Developer Tools) while that dialog is showing. There might be console errors.
Let me know what you find. If the workaround doesn’t help, I’ll pass this to the team for a deeper look.
