Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, thanks for the report. A couple of questions to narrow it down:

1. What exactly happens when you try to paste? Does nothing happen, do you see an error message, or does Cursor crash?
2. Where are you copying the image from? A screenshot Cmd+Shift+4, the browser, Finder, or somewhere else?
3. Are you pasting into the Agent/Ask chat panel, or somewhere else?

Your details will help us pin down the exact scenario.

Hi Dean,

Thanks for your reply. The answers to your questions are as follows:

1. Nothing happens when I try to paste (cmd+V) the image.

2. I am copying from a screenshot (cmd+Shift+4).

3. I am pasting into the Agent/Ask chat panel.

Thanks for your help,

Anas
