### Describe the Bug

Since i updated to latest version 0.44.0 my changes doesn’t update on “source control” so i can’t see what files changed so that i can push it to git. If i restart cursor i will see the changes.

Change a file then check source control

### Expected Behavior

Show changes and make it able to stage them.

### Operating System

MacOS

### Current Cursor Version (Menu → About Cursor → Copy)

Version: 0.44.0  
VSCode Version: 1.93.1  
Commit: e0d6a482c1e7a40f2035787bab666c4487b116d0

### Additional Information

If i restart Cursor it will show changes, but thats annoying to do.

### Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hi, can you confirm something for me?

If you hit CMD/CTRL + P, do most of the commands not have proper names?

Hey,

To be clear, if you have a folder open to a codebase with Git initialised, and you can see any changes in the source control tab, any changes you make are not reflected at all?

If you hit the refresh button in the source control tab, does everything then update to the current state of the code?

I have upgraded to 0.44.8 and have not been able to reproduce the problem.

Basically changes made to files by cursor were persisted but did not show up on the source control tab until it was refreshed.

If it happens again I will update this issue…

It happened again just now. I am on Cursor 0.44.11.  
I had around 6 files open in the editor (all edits saved) and 3 edited files were missing from the source control tab (12 of 15 uncommitted edits were present). I was editing inline using K. The edits did show up on the command line when I ran ‘git status’. I restarted Cursor and the issue went away.  
I can’t reproduce this at will but does seem much less frequent than before. Is there any info I can grab from my environment that might help debug the issue next time this happens?
