Hey, thanks for the report. This is a known bug. Right-click “Add directory to Cursor chat” doesn’t work for root-level folders in a multi-root workspace.

Workaround: instead of right-click, start typing the folder name in the chat @ menu. Root folders show up there. Drag and drop also doesn’t work for top-level folders.

The bug is logged, but we don’t have any timelines yet.
