Composer chat vs Right panel chat - what is the difference?

For some reason typing instructions into right panel chat window no longer works but it is possible to select ‘Ask’ which opens a Composer chat window so what is the difference between these 2 chat windows and i why does one no longer work?

Hi @qubit000

The difference between chat and composer is that composer can generate code and create files and directories, but in chat, you have to do it manually. Why isn’t your chat working? Is there an error or something else? Let us know.

My chat window also generated code just like Composer and required clicking on the ‘apply’ button just like composer so dont see difference

attached is what my chat window looks like - there’s no longer a response window and i’ve restarted several times

You showed part of the window. Is there an input field for typing messages? What happens if you try starting a new chat? Try using the Ctrl/Cmd + L shortcut.

that was full window and it’s the same with new version:

What happens if you press the plus icon?
