Review Window Cannot Be Closed - Missing Close/Confirm Button, All Standard Solutions Ineffective

[solidusex]

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

In Cursor’s AI chat interface, when the AI modifies a file and the user clicks the “Review” button, a Review window appears to display the changes. However, this window cannot be closed - there is neither a close button () nor a confirm button (✓). More seriously, even after committing changes via git commands, deleting history records, clearing Cursor state, and restarting the application multiple times, the Review window still cannot be closed.

Steps to Reproduce

1. In Cursor’s AI chat interface, ask the AI to modify a file (e.g., add a comment line at the end of regex.c)
2. After the AI completes the modification, the interface shows “1 File” and “regex.c +2”
3. Click the “Review” button in the top right corner
4. The Review window appears, showing the title “Review: 文件夹聊天记录问题” and the specific file changes (showing the newly added comment on line 2658)
5. Attempt to close the window - Cannot be closed
6. Attempt various solutions (see details below) - All ineffective

Expected Behavior

Expected Behavior

• The Review window should provide a close button (typically in the top right corner)
• Or provide a confirm/accept button (✓) to close the window
• After the user commits changes via git commit, the Review window should automatically close or at least be manually closable
• Users should be able to easily exit the Review view

Actual Behavior

• The Review window only has a “Commit” button and a three-dot menu (…)
• No obvious close or confirm button
• Regardless of what actions are taken, the window cannot be closed
• The “Commit” button in the window has no effect or does not close the window
• Users are trapped in the Review interface, unable to return to the normal editing view

Previous Behavior

The user mentioned that this window previously had a checkmark button, indicating this is a regression bug - previous versions had a closing mechanism (likely a ✓ confirm button), but it disappeared after an update.

Hey, thanks for the report.

This is a known issue with the new Review workflow. We’re aware of it and working on improvements.

As a workaround, try:

• Cmd-click on files to open them directly instead of using the Review panel
• Start a new chat session to clear the stuck review state
• Restart Cursor

For further investigation, could you share the Request ID of your last Agent operation? (Chat context menu in the top right > Copy Request ID)

Let me know if the workaround helps.

I feel like I’ve already gotten used to having this thing at the bottom. I’m someone with OCD, and it took a lot for me to accept it—and now you’re telling me you’re going to fix it? Doesn’t that just make me feel worse?
