Can't put symbols in chatbox!

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

I cannot put any of the critical symbols like "{ ] } [ " etc in the text box anymore! I got the Cursor update, pressed “Update”, Cursor automatically reopened and can no longer press/create these vital symbols!

(Also, I used to love Cursor’s easily scrollable “thinking box” part. That seems to have disappeared. The scroll bar is gone and when I try to go up and down, the entire chat goes up and down, rather than just the thinking box part. This isn’t a bug exactly -though it might be- but I just wanted to complain haha). The vital symbols do prevent me from working though; I cannot write code or syntax in the chat box anymore!

Steps to Reproduce

Macbook M1 Air. Q Keyboard (Turkish). All the symbols that I’m typing here, (e.g. ][{ etc) do not work.

Expected Behavior

Should work like it did 5 minutes ago before I loaded the update.

Operating System

MacOS
