Describe the Bug

The composer Agent keeps removing good bits of code, sometimes that have nothing to do with the code being edited. for instance, when formatting text in a sidebar, it performed the reformat of the targeted area, but also removed text that was not related to the edit… Another example, I told the agent to left align a piece of text that was single line with a line break, in left aligning, it also changed the code to two separate lines. Another example, while debugging a font problem, I found the problem was caused by tailwind declarations. these were commented out. and we started reformatting the the affected text, but then randomly the agent changed approach and reapplied the tailwind declarations. Another issue, was that it couldnt see where to make a change in the file it was working on and asked to see a different file. I told it to check in the current file and it said oops. Then we have had a problem it randomly removing hardcoded test data, when working on unconnected code.

Steps to Reproduce

just work on multifile code for 20 minutes.

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey,

Sorry you are having some issues with the agentic composer.
We appreciate your feedback on the areas where the composer isn’t working great for you.

It’s our newest feature, so I’d expect some bug fixes and improvements very shortly that should improve on the issues you have been having.
