2.1.17: No trash can symbol after deleting chat

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

When I delete a chat from history, the chat panel stays open now, which is good. However, the chat entry that is now under the cursor does not automatically have the trash icon under it. It appears the chat history has the wrong entry in the list focused (the first) after an entry is deleted. When I move the mouse off if the entry under the cursor and back on then the trash icon appears. So unfortunately, this makes it difficult to delete a bunch of chats, which used to work.

Steps to Reproduce

Step 1: Open chat history and delete a chat

Step 2: Should be able to immediately then click again on the next chat’s trash can icon, but it is not visible. It appears that the first chat in the history becomes focused in the list not the one under the mouse. This results in having to delete chats from the first entry only if you want to delete them quickly, but this is not ideal if you want to delete a batch of older chats, not the latest ones.

Expected Behavior

After deleting a chat via chat history panel, the chat that appears under the mouse after deleting a chat does not have a trash icon until you move mouse off of it and then back over it.

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, thanks for the report. I can repro it. I’ll pass it to the team.
