With save all the files context is changed

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

When I save my .move file, all of context is removed and other file context is moved to this and replaced instead of original context. As many time I save the file again and again the file context changes.
This only happens with my .move file not other files

Steps to Reproduce

I don’t know what is the root cause,

Expected Behavior

It shouldn’t change the file context

Screenshots / Screen Recordings

Operating System

Linux

Current Cursor Version (Menu → About Cursor → Copy)

version: 1.7.44

For AI issues: which model did you use?

auto and Sonnet 4.5

Does this stop you from using Cursor

Yes - Cursor is unusable

Hey, thanks for the report, this is definitely strange behavior that we need to investigate.

Please help us collect some diagnostic information:

  1. Extensions check:
    Try running Cursor from the command line like this:
    cursor --disable-extensions
    Does the error still appear?

  2. Console errors:
    Open Help > Toggle Developer Tools > Console, reproduce the issue, and share any errors that appear there (screenshot or text).

  3. Minimal reproduction:
    Can you create a new empty folder with just one or two .move files and check if the issue still happens there?

  4. Language extension:
    Do you have any extensions installed for .move file support? (check in Settings > Extensions)

This looks like a potential bug related to .move file handling. Once I have this information, I can pass the request to the engineering team for further investigation.

I don’t know how it is fixed for now, as now save works correctly.

Is there any way to scan my Cursor for malicous extensions?

I am again facing the same problem and These extensions I am using for Move.

Exactly the same error and bug happens in newer version of 2.1.125 . You can see in this below video and the ways that you have showed are also in this video.

Thank you for confirming - this is critical since the issue persists even without extensions. This indicates a core Cursor bug with .move file handling.

For the engineering team, please provide:

  • Minimal test case: Create a new empty folder with 1-2 simple .move files. Does the issue still occur?

File details:

  • Are these files on your local disk or a remote/network drive?
  • Pattern: When content gets replaced, is it always content from the same file or random files?

I’ll escalate this to the team - file content corruption that bypasses extensions is a critical issue. The team will investigate the .move file save handler.

I have test it when I make other folder then in new folder and project again everything works correctly but with old where bug occured is still the same and with every time I save, I face with completely different context inside a file.

There is one other problem too with .move files. In every language when when there is a ctrl+click it should direct to the defination(implementation) but ctrl+click in .move files is actually not responsive.
