Additional Information

Workaround: if you open a new chat and change the chat using the “Past Chats” list, the chat works as expected

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, thanks for the report. Unfortunately, Cursor doesn’t fully support a new chat window yet, but we might fix this soon. In the meantime, as a workaround, you can try restarting the chat window, and then text input should work.
