Chat window (ide view) no longer has button to add image

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

Until recently you could hit the + button and add an image / screenshot to the chat window. Now that button / option has gone. I can copy and paste and image in, but I don’t understand the reasoning for removing the button, this feels like a bug as its a really annoying workflow to switch windows to copy an image to paste it into the chat box when previously you could press the + and add it directly.

Steps to Reproduce

Try and add an image to the chat input.

Expected Behavior

There used to be a + button.

Screenshots / Screen Recordings

Operating System

MacOS

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey @mdbrennan!

Thanks for the report. This is a bug that will get fixed up in 3.11, and only affects Composer 2.5 / Auto. In the meantime, you can still drag files/images into the prompt box or copy/paste.

@Colin thanks a lot for the update.
