TL;DR

The issue with the "Undo or Review" button not appearing when an agent edits a single markdown file may be related to the diff display logic in the IDE extension.

Guidance

  • Verify that the issue is specific to editing single markdown files by attempting to edit multiple files and checking if the expected diff display appears.
  • Check if there are any settings or configuration options in the IDE extension that control the diff display behavior for single file edits.
  • Test the behavior with a different version of the IDE or IDE extension to see if the issue is version-specific.
  • Consider reporting the issue to the IDE extension developers with detailed steps to reproduce and screenshots of the expected and actual behavior.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue seems to be related to the IDE extension's UI behavior rather than code.

Notes

The issue may be specific to the combination of the IDE extension version (26.417.40842) and the Cursor IDE version (3.1.17), and may not be reproducible in other environments.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Report the issue to the IDE extension developers and wait for a fix, as the issue seems to be related to the extension's logic rather than a user-configurable setting.
