Cursor IDE
My source control is keeping highlighting past commits making very difficult to review new changes. Someone had that and know how to fix?
Not happening on VS Code. screenshot comparing atached.
Looks like it highlights not only git diff but what was not explicit accepted on the IDE, even if it was coded without Cursor.
I already tried Git Refresh, reopen folder, nothing. How do i fix this?
Maybe don’t explicit accept in the cursor the changes but just commit
Should show only GIT DIFF when files were clicked
MacOS
Version: 2.2.20
No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, thanks for the report. I see the screenshot with old changes highlighted. Looks like a known bug with “stuck” diff decorations. Here are a few workarounds that helped others:
Accept/reject changes via the Git panel, not the inline diff UI
Cmd+Shift+P → Developer: Reload WindowRun without extensions: cursor --disable-extensions
In the problematic file, temporarily delete highlighted blocks, save, then immediately Undo
Similar cases:
Need details to escalate:
Request ID of the last operation (in chat: top-right menu → Copy Request ID)
2-3 file paths where highlighting is wrong, and git status output for them
Short repro steps and if it happens after Agent Review
Let me know if any workaround helps. If not, gather the info above and I’ll pass it to engineers.

I assume this is not fixed because it keeps happening every day on the latest version?
