Can't type in chat

Bug Report
1

I updated cursor today (so now it has composer in tab) and it worked for a while but then I noticed I can no longer input in the chat. There is no response to the keys and the input box remains blank. I tried composer input and that is fine.
Here is my current cursor version:

What do you mean start new instance? I quit cursor then reopened it and still can’t type in chat. Thanks

OK it’s solved now. I moved the chat into the editor tab (not the usual side pane) then I can type. Then I move the tab back as side pane and it still works.

So they fixed the bug by swapping the bug.

Used to be you couldnt type when it was out of the sidepane

The issue still exists, I couldn’t type inside the chat field. Restarting the cursor, and restarting my PC didn’t work.

Only when I clicked on “Open Chat as Editor” and then closed it and opened it again in the sidebar, it worked again.

Windows 11

i’ve had this happen a few times randomly… toggling the AI pane out and then back in fixes it. restarts dont.

I have the same in the last version but is for the composer, it does not allow to type on it, I can still use the cmd + k in the code window but for long queries that does not help

Can you start a new Composer session and if so, does that allow you to type?

11

I can, most of the time it does allow but not always. What I found that works more or less always is to close the chat side pannel (where all the composer/chat) is, then close the cursor app, reopen it again and open the chat panel.

this seems to make it work for a bit anyway, the latest version seemed to made this crash in one of my projects quite often

Same issue here, happens randomly. Composer works fine though, it’s only chat.
