Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

Whenever I am trying to switch chats via Show chat history icon on the top right, it shows all the previous chats in the usual dropdown but when I click, nothing happens. I can only create new chats but the old ones aren’t opening. No updates are pending for the IDE, any help please?

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open Cursoer
  2. Click on the clock icon on top right
  3. Either no dropdown shows up or if it shows previous chats then clicking on those chats does not do anything

Operating System

MacOS

Hey, this is a known bug linked to a specific chat panel layout state. There’s a workaround: click the double-arrow icon at the top right of the chat panel. This toggles “Swap Agent Sidebar Location”. It should slightly change the layout and make chat history clickable again.

More details in this thread: [2.6.11] Clicking On Chat in Chat History Not Working

Note: pressing Cmd+E toggles the same setting and can bring the bug back, so please avoid that shortcut for now.

The team is aware of this issue. Let me know if the workaround doesn’t help.
