Hi all. I’m quite new with Cursor. I realized that Cursor allows me to open the chat window in a separate window (which I couldn’t do in vscode with co-pilot). However, as soon as it is in a detached new window, I’m no longer able to type in the chat box. I’m on OSx 13.6.1 on M2 Pro.

Chat window does not work in new window

There seems to be a workaround:
