Ah, I assume Mac. This happens for anytime you try to paste in chat? Any reproduction steps? Having a hard time replicating ---

Sorry, missed your reply. Yes, it’s Mac OS. I’ve noticed that sometimes it works but I can’t say what it depends from. I’m just trying to past anything to the chat and it won’t allow me to, also no context menu to past manually. So I can past something only by selecting the code and opening new chat window, which is not enough as usually I want to past something to follow up my previous questions or something from outside my file. ---

Getting this as well at the moment, and I’m on: Version: 0.22.1 VSCode Version: 1.85.1 Commit: 20d6b2fe0f43a91764e828b77e985d1380d3ca20 Date: 2024-01-08T23:25:28.010Z (3 days ago) Electron: 25.9.7 ElectronBuildId: undefined Chromium: 114.0.5735.289 Node.js: 18.15.0 V8: 11.4.183.29-electron.0 OS: Darwin arm64 23.2.0 ---

If you run “cmd+shift+p \> reload window”, does this persist? ---

I updated today, and since then, I’ve had this problem. Yes, it persists after “cmd+shift+p \> reload window”. This is my first bug report on ANY tool - that’s how frustrating this is.

Also, CMD + C does not work; I can only copy content from the chat window by using the copy button, which is usually not what I’d prefer to do (often need just part of the code). ---

Also would be helpful to know what you see if you move the current version of Cursor to the trash and install this old version: [https://download.cursor.sh/builds/2401083eyk8kmzc/mac/zip/arm64](https://download.cursor.sh/builds/2401083eyk8kmzc/mac/zip/arm64) If the issue is resolved, then would be helpful if you could delete that version again, and install this one ([https://download.cursor.sh/builds/24011721vsch1l1/mac/zip/arm64](https://download.cursor.sh/builds/24011721vsch1l1/mac/zip/arm64)) and report what you see ---

I have the same problem. As a workaround, you can use the menu command Edit-\>Paste ---

I also have this issue since quite a while with latest version of everything. Often also in VS Code extensions like Thunder client. Or if I want to insert passwords from 1passwords. It’s quite annoying. 😅 ---
