Describe the Bug

When submitting a prompt in the Cursor IDE chat, the text does not get processed correctly. Instead of sending the prompt to the AI, the focus jumps back to the chat field without producing any response.

Steps to Reproduce

Open Cursor IDE.
Go to the chat feature.
Type any prompt in the input field.
Press Enter or click Submit.

Expected Behavior

The prompt should be sent to the AI, and a response should appear in the chat window.

Just updated to Version: 1.5.11 (Universal). Now cursor is unable to use.

hi @Parker_Wood the view from your screenshot has some odd markdown in the input box.

Can you run Cursor without extensions and check if it also fails with a regular text input? (ask cursor to say hi). cursor --disable-extensions
It’s likely that some extension is interfering with Chat.

If this does not improve could you check if the issue persists on a empty project?
