Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

Whenever the chat shows a line or references code files I was able to click into the file without any issue but since the past few versions whenever there is a preview of where it saw those lines of codes I can no longer click into that line of code and easily navigate to the file. This is quite frustrating

Steps to Reproduce

Ask cursor to scan codebase during a long running chat and when it references a file or lines of code I can no longer click into it

Expected Behavior

I should be able to click into that file

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hi Ali,
This is a known bug - clicking on code citation headers (like the “ocr.py Lines 489-496” you showed) doesn’t navigate to the file in the editor layout. Our team is aware and working on it.

In the meantime, you can navigate to any referenced file using Cmd+P (Go to File) and typing the filename. Not as convenient, but it gets you there until the fix ships.

I’ll post an update here once a fix is available.
