V2.1.50: Agent Accept button not showing

[Alex_Feinstein]

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

Previously Cursor added Accept button for every single Agent edits, which was very annoying itself, but worked.
Now this button doesn’t even show up and Agent is blocked.
Changing Auto-Run Mode dropdown options doesn’t make any change

Steps to Reproduce

Run Agent, get some edits and see there is no Accept button

Expected Behavior

Should display Accept button under every edit.

Yes - Cursor is unusable

Hey, thanks for the report. This is a known regression in 2.1.47–2.1.50, especially on Windows and Windows+WSL. Temporary workarounds:

• Settings > Agents > disable External-file Protection. For many users this immediately brought the buttons back and removed the freeze:
• Agent Mode keeps asking approval for changes
• Agent stuck forever

Let me know if disabling External-file Protection helps.
I’ll pass your case to the team, thanks.
