Thanks for the report. This is an unusual issue I haven’t seen in 2.0.38.

To help investigate, please share:

  • Where exactly you’re clicking? (any part of the panel, or specific areas like the input box, response text, buttons?)
  • Does it happen when opening chat via keyboard shortcuts Cmd+L or Cmd+I?
  • Do you have any extensions installed? Try running Cursor with extensions disabled: cursor --disable-extensions (from Terminal)
  • A screen recording if possible, this would really help us understand the behavior

Could you update to the latest version and let me know if the issue still persists?

Also try clearing app data to see if it helps (export your profile first): Troubleshooting Guide | Cursor Docs

Let me know what you find.
