When right clicking on a file in the solution area there’s the option to add the file to a new chat. However using this replaces the old chat rather than creating a new tab.
Steps to Reproduce
Right click on file
Click add file to new cursor chat
Watch old chat disappear
Expected Behavior
New chat tab
Operating System
Windows 10/11
Current Cursor Version (Menu → About Cursor → Copy)
I think it should work this way: the old chat is replaced by the new one instead of opening in a new tab. Otherwise, we would have to call it “Add file to a new tab.”
Maybe I’m not understanding something but essentially it’s destructive. It’s destroying my current chat. Why would I want that? To me a new chat is a new tab.
If I hover over the plus button it says that opens a ‘New Chat’ and in doing so it opens a new tab. So at the very least there’s contradictory terminology here between the solution explorer and the plus buttons hover label.
