Hey @Samuel_Talenti,

To get it back: in the Agents window, search your conversations with Cmd+K and reopen it, or start a new chat and type @Chats to pull it back in (it’s likely now filed under the other folder in the sidebar).

To avoid it: start the chat with your folder already open, or add a rule telling the agent not to switch its workspace root and to work in the target folder directly.

One thing that’d help me narrow it down: does this only happen when you start from the Home screen (no folder open), or also when a folder’s already open?

This is an issue we’re tracking - I’ll post here when there’s an update.
