Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, thanks for the report. I can see the screenshot, and yeah, the popup doesn’t show which file it refers to, and that’s really inconvenient.

This is a known issue with that dialog. The team is aware. There’s no specific ETA yet, but your report helps with prioritization.

For context, here’s what the buttons do:

  • Overwrite: saves the editor version over the version on disk
  • Revert: discards editor changes and reloads the version from disk (the one the agent wrote)

If the popup appeared after the agent changed a file that had unsaved edits, you usually want Revert.

Let me know if you have any questions.
