Maybe its my imagination but I have found Gemini to be more “disobedient” recently (last week or so). 2.5 Pro will often try and make many additional and “bad” changes to my files alongside the intended change. Many of the changes it tries to do are very odd because they don’t seem to have any real reason to them.
No matter how many times I specify a “surgical” or precise change of only one feature and that nothing else in the code should be changed… Gemini will confirm its only going to make that one precise change, then try and make a load of unrelated changes at the same time and then be convinced that it only made the one precise change I asked for.
Today I asked for a simple change to make a field on a form read only which would have required changing a single line of code and Gemini proposed massive changes to the file including randomly deleting options out of other drop down lists, modifying my hardcoded authentication that is there for test purposes and deleting a bunch of other unrelated code.
I don’t remember having this level of issue with the ability to make small targeted changes before.
