Can't type in AI pane editor on first app open

Bug Description:
Every time I (re)open Cursor, I can’t type in the AI pane editor.

Reproduction Steps:

  • Quit cursor
  • Reopen cursor
  • Try to type in AI pane

Workaround:
The only way I’ve figured out how to get around this is to open the ai pane as an editor. At that point I can type in it, and I open it back as the pane and it’s fine.

OS:
MacOS Sequoia 15.2

Cursor version:
0.45.11

Screen recording: Cursor Bug.mov - Google Drive

May want to edit your screen recording to remove some private information.

Can you try starting a fresh Composer instance with the plus (+) in the top right and see if that helps the next time you close and reopen?

Just tried it, unfortunately creating a new composer/chat instance upon reopening cursor does not fix this issue. LMK if there’s anything else you want me to try, happy to help debug this!

Hey, while I don’t have a good fix or suggestion right now, we hopefully have a new release coming very soon with some changes to this code behind the scenes, so I’d suggest waiting for that!

If you still have issues once 0.46 is available, feel free to comment again and I can drag more of the team in to help!

i also have this issue, it happens randomly, and editor mode open and close fixes it

Coming back to this, I did indeed get the 0.46 update, and I still have the above issue. Again, not the most urgent thing, rather in the category of “polish.”
