[BUG] Cannot edit file changes in VS Code integration anymore
Environment
- Platform (select one):
- [x] Anthropic API
- [ ] AWS Bedrock
- [ ] Google Vertex AI
- [ ] Other: <!-- specify -->
- Claude CLI version: 1.0.80 <!-- output of
claude --version--> - Operating System: Windows 11, using WSL with Ubuntu 22.04<!-- e.g. macOS 14.3, Windows 11, Ubuntu 22.04 -->
- terminal: VSCode <!-- e.g. iTerm2, Terminal App -->
Bug Description
It used to be the case that if Claude suggested an edit and you had VS Code connected, you could see the diff, and make changes to the diff. Pressing enter in the terminal would accept the edit while discarding your changes, however saving the open VS Code diff editor would save the changes you made.
Now however, those changes are discarded regardless.
This wastes a lot of time because each time you want to change something you either have to tell Claude exactly what you want to change or find the place where the edit was made and reorient yourself again.
Steps to Reproduce
- Open Claude Code, making sure it's connected to VS Code
- Have Claude Code edit a file
- Make manual changes to the opened diff editor
- Save the open diff editor
Expected Behavior
The manual changes should be part of the file, as well as part of what is shown as the edit that was performed in the terminal (both of these used to be the case)
Actual Behavior
The changes are discarded and now shown in the terminal

Not a duplicate. Downgrading claude code to 1.0.77 (2025-08-12) fixes the issue. Bug possibly introduced in 1.0.78.
This is a pretty serious bug that got introduced very recently. Please fix this, it significantly affects/breaks workflow.
Reproduces with JetBrains Rider too
Ok but how to stop claude code from auto updating after downgrading
@Henry-E use
/configin claude codeFor anyone else being driven totally bonkers by this bug, don't forget to actually downgrade the terminal (npm) app as opposed to just the vscode extension i.e.,
npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code@1.0.77 --save-exactCommenting for visibility. I'm also seeing this issue, running in native Ubuntu w/ VSCode.
Bumping this up. The bug appears in IntelliJ products as well.
Same issue in 1.0.83 (Claude Code), Cursor extension version 1.0.83 (server version: 1.0.72).
Same issue. Annoying to make edits in a file after.
Yup same issue would love to get this fixed
@hackyon-anthropic @bcherny is it possible to not automatically close this issue? It's a valid bug that needs attention please. Sorry for direct tagging.
Fixed in 1.0.84 🎉 Thanks a lot!
I can confirm that it works in 1.0.84. Thanks!
