Undo / revert changes button fails to appear

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

When an agent completes a task, there are times where the undo button does not appear on the latest changes. Only closing and re-opening Cursor seems to fix the issue, temporarily, until it happens again. The end result is that I have to close and reopen Cursor every time I ask the agent to make a change.

Earlier undo buttons still appear in the same agent chat, which makes it seem like at a certain point in the chat, the agent becomes unable to revert changes.

Steps to Reproduce

I am not sure why this occurs sometimes but not others.

Expected Behavior

The undo changes button should always appear.

Operating System

Windows 10/11

Current Cursor Version (Menu → About Cursor → Copy)

Not Cursor-breaking, but incredibly annoying.

Does this stop you from using Cursor

Sometimes - I can sometimes use Cursor

Hey, thanks for the report. This is a known intermittent issue the team is already working on.

Things to try:

  • Use the “Keep All” / “Undo All” buttons in the chat sidebar instead of the editor buttons - they often work even when the editor buttons don’t appear
  • Reload the window: Ctrl+Shift+P → “Developer: Reload Window”
  • Widen the chat pane - buttons can be hidden if the pane is too narrow

For diagnosis, please share:

  • Do the “Keep All” / “Undo All” buttons in the chat sidebar work?
  • Any console errors when this happens? (Help → Toggle Developer Tools → Console)
  • Which model are you using (auto or a specific model)?
  • The Request ID from an affected chat (chat context menu → Copy Request ID)

Let me know if these workarounds help.
