OS: Darwin arm64 23.4.0

Mode: Agent
LLM: claude-3.7-sonnet

MCPs: sequentialthinking, fetch, postgres, git, memory, time (all work correctly)

Steps to reproduce:

  • start new chat (agent)
  • let agent make code changes + run tools
  • continue conversation until “continue in new chat” appears
  • click “continue in new chat”
  • BUG: continued chat is opened but the file picker will not show (either inline with @ or via the top file picker).
  • FIX: restart cursor, this will “fix” it until “continue in new chat” is used again

Notes:

This same bug has been semi-frequent but hadn’t happened for at least a few days, only started noticing it again today (and it consistently happens now). I had also switched project/codebase, so it could be related to my local and not cursor itself. I’ll expand on this if I find out more.

(I’ll add a screenshot of the “broken” state soon)

Update: I believe I’ve identified this as a local issue and not specific to Cursor

Consider this resolved.

If you dont mind sharing approx what the resolution was in case it could help others here. Some people have odd local issues that are unexplainable until they or someone else determines clearly the cause.

e.g. Router issues, Macos ssd issue etc.

At least it helps people to see what they can exclude as potential causes :slight_smile:

I normally would have, except… it was user error :sweat_smile:

I think the issue was due to me copy/pasting a pre-written prompt and trying to include files partway through. For some reason the file picker only displays if the text cursor is at the end of the field (so there is no text after what you are entering).

…i can try explain that better if it doesn’t make sense, it’s the EOD and my brain is mush ;p
