No - Cursor works, but with this issue

I’m able to “fix” this by running “Developer: Reload Window”, but sometimes it appears again directly. So I need to do multiple reloads in a row to get access to my chats :sweat_smile:

Hey, thanks for the report. This is a known bug in 2.6.11. It’s related to the Editor Classic layout.

Workaround: click the double-arrow icon in the top-right corner of the chat panel to switch away from the Classic layout. After that, chat history should work normally.

More details in this thread: [2.6.11] Clicking On Chat in Chat History Not Working

The team is aware of the issue. Let me know if the workaround doesn’t help.

the workaround fixes the chat history issue but not the UI issue. there is an issue with UI, where it looks like the resolution starts degrading until user cant see much of the code

Haven’t heard this, maybe open up a separate bug report? Share screenshots.

I had the same issue this morning, and ended up reverting the version of Cursor to 2.5.26. And the shortcuts and chat history are working how they were before.
