Backspace Not Working Properly When Chat Panel Is Detached into a New Window in Cursor

I am experiencing an issue when detaching the chat panel into a separate window in Cursor.

While typing in the chat input field, pressing the Backspace key does not behave normally. Characters are not deleted as expected, or the input focus behaves unexpectedly, making it difficult to continue typing. This issue does not seem to occur when the chat panel is docked in the main window.

Has anyone experienced the same problem? Is there any known fix, workaround, or setting adjustment (e.g., keybinding conflicts, updates, etc.) that resolves this issue?

Any guidance or suggestions would be appreciated.

Hey! This is a known issue. Chat in a separate window currently doesn’t handle keyboard input correctly.

Workaround: after moving chat to a new window, reload that window. Press Ctrl+Shift+P (or Cmd+Shift+P on Mac) > Developer: Reload Window. This should fix the Backspace and focus issues.

Let me know if reloading helped.
