Chat in a new window is buggy

Describe the Bug

When I open the chat as Editor, and move the editor to new window, shift + enter for new line stops working, or sometimes it’s not possible to type in the chat textarea at all. If I move the this chat window to a separate monitor, the Mode dropdown also stops working. Multi-monitor usage is very important as files explorer on the left and chat on the right takes most of the screen. So, moving the window to a separate monitor can help a lot.

Steps to Reproduce

Open the chat as Editor. Move the tab to a new Window. (Keyboard won’t work anymore). Move this window to a separate monitor (the dropdown stops working.)

Expected Behavior

I can move the Chat to a new window and a different monitor.

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, we don’t have full support for a new chat window yet, but if you reload the chat window, it should resolve the issue.
