My chats are bugging out when i re open cursor. Like the last user message appears in my chat prompt and it seems like the conversation history is persisted but the conversation history doesnt appear in the ui and i cant scroll up to see it.
Steps to Reproduce
Start a chat
Close cursor
Go to the chat u started and ur messages will be gone (except for the most recent user message)
try a prompt and youll see that the conversation was still persisted
Expected Behavior
You’re supposed to be able to see the full chat lol.
Hey, thanks for the report. This is a known issue. The chat data is actually saved, but after a restart the UI only loads the last pair of messages, and scrolling up to older messages doesn’t work.
The team is aware and already tracking it. No ETA yet.
As a workaround, if you send a new request in that “empty” chat, the model still sees the full previous history, like you noticed. Not ideal, but at least the context isn’t lost.
I am using multiple windows with different projects open.
Tried to reproduce it, but haven’t yet seen what triggers it. It just happens at random, and pretty often.
After I fully quit Cursor and reopen the same workspace folder, my previous AI chat threads no longer appear in the chat list (or I cannot return to the same conversation history). I always open the same folder path (e.g. C:\HUME). This repeats and breaks my workflow. I am on a paid plan.
Paid user. Chat threads are often missing after restart even when reopening the same folder (e.g. C:\HUME). I rely on chat history for development continuity.
