Chat history not working fully

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor CLI

Describe the Bug

I just updated to the newest version of cursor and ran into an issue where when I press the clock icon, select a previous chat, then nothing happens. I’m not taken to the other chat and instead am stuck with the one I was already on. However, selecting a different chat on the bar above the chat still works. I asked my team and it sounds like it’s not just me, my coworker has a Windows machine that also is having the same issue. I have a Mac.

Steps to Reproduce

To reproduce is pretty easy, just open up cursor, press the clock icon, and try selecting a different chat then the one you’re on.

Expected Behavior

I’m expecting to be taken to the chat I selected, but instead nothing happens. And sometimes the clock icon becomes unresponsive as a whole until I select a chat via the slide bar above the chat. then I can press the clock icon again.

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, thanks for the report. This is a known bug in 2.6.11 and 2.6.12 related to a specific chat panel layout state.

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.
