Rollback Fails in Cursor – Checkpoint Restore Doesn’t Work Either

Bug Reports

Describe the Bug

Hi everyone,
I’m running into an issue with Cursor’s rollback feature: when I click Rollback (or try to restore a checkpoint), nothing happens and my code stays in the modified (“broken”) state. I’m looking for help to resolve this or find a workaround.

  1. Environment
    Version: 1.3.0 (user setup)
    VSCode Version: 1.99.3
    Commit: 410000a83355c025daba0c6156955bf08687d080
    Date: 2025-07-23T05:57:24.496Z
    Electron: 34.5.1
    Chromium: 132.0.6834.210
    Node.js: 20.19.0
    V8: 13.2.152.41-electron.0
    OS: Windows_NT x64 10.0.26100

Steps to Reproduce

Steps to Reproduce
Open a new or existing project in Cursor.

Make some file changes using the AI Compose feature.

Click the Rollback button in the top menu, selecting either the most recent save or a specific checkpoint.

Observe that nothing is reverted—no visible action occurs.

Hey, yes, sorry about that. We’re releasing an update soon that should fix this issue. In the meantime, you can switch to the previous version. You can download it here:

Helloello, it’s not working—the chat isn’t loading.

4

Did this happen after rolling back to the previous version?

5

Yes, I installed the previous version (1.1.7), but the chats still aren’t loading.

6

Could you check if the same thing happens in other projects?

7

yes , it happens with all projects.

Hi @Bogdan_Moise I just saw you are using v0.47 which is an older version and not receiving updates. Can you install 1.2 from Downloads | Cursor - The AI Code Editor and disable in Settings Beta page the Update Access to Default? This should fix your issue until we release the bug fix.

Ok for 1.3.0 we are working on the bug fix for this issue. Please re-download 1.2 as mentioned above to get you going in the meantime. Sorry about the issue!

Additionally, I think the issue with chats not loading might be due to the large volume of your chat history. To fix this, try manually deleting most of the history. You can also try renaming or moving the project, which will help you quickly clear the history.

i tried with a chat with only 2 interactions …

Hey everyone! If you’re seeing this bug, AND on 1.3.0, 1.3.1 is rolling out now and you should update. Will fix it.

14

You can use the normal undo command (ctrl-Z) to reverse any change to the files.

Has the new version already been released?

16

I’m on Version: 1.3.2 (user setup) and the restore checkpoint / rollback still isn’t working…

17

Looking into this. Apologies. Can you share if there are any developer tools logs that have “checkpoints”? if you’d prefer to email, my email is [email protected]

Use the undo feature of the editor to revert your code.

19

Working on reproducing it - are you using SSH? Do you use git/have git installed? Do you know if your workspace has multiple roots (multiple workspaces that are open from an enclosing folder)?
