After updating Cursor to 0.45.5 I haven’t been able to type or paste anything in the Composer input box. The Chat tab works fine. I’ve tried to restart Cursor and initiate a new Composer but the problem persists. > Version: 0.45.5 > VSCode Version: 1.96.2 > Commit: e599ee6d2218c8b6fef45980f8cc964bacc0caa0 > Date: 2025-01-28T22:23:41.566Z > Electron: 32.2.6 > Chromium: 128.0.6613.186 > Node.js: 20.18.1 > V8: 12.8.374.38-electron.0 > OS: Windows\_NT x64 10.0.22631 **Note** : I’ve already reported this issue to Cursor using the “Report issue” option. ---

Hi guys, would be possible to share a link to downgrade Cursor to 0.45.4? @deanrie, @danperks, @msfeldstein ---

UPDATE 25-01-29 02:52 EST It is still **NOT** working for the project I am working on. * * * UPDATE 25-01-29 02:35 EST If I open another folder or workspace it works. The issue seems to be related to the workspace I am currently working on. However, it is important to note that 40min ago, before updating, it was working just fine. ---

I’m experiencing the same issue. When I restart the app, either the chat or composer function stops working - I can’t type or paste text into them. Which function works and which doesn’t seems to change randomly with each app restart. ---

@eurasec, I just tried the option ‘Open Composer as Editor’, then toggled back using ‘Open as Pane’ now it works again. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/cursor1/original/3X/e/d/ed6499d758006b8f07b94b0463e54e7581c45c99.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/cursor1/original/3X/b/8/b8145e64ef41a0dc899eb9a06dc444fc06f22520.png) Let me know if that worked for you. ---

Yep, it works like that but not 100% chance. Thank you! ---

How can I move the Chat window back to the secondary panel (AI bar) in VS Code/Cursor? I accidentally moved the frozen Chat window to the primary side panel, but I want it restored to its original location in the secondary pane where Chat and Composer typically reside. Is there a way to do this? ---

You be able to pop open the right panel using the icons at the top right of Cursor, and then just drag the pane back into that panel! ---

Try dragging it to the top of the pane, roughly where the ‘Composer’ text would sit, inline with the X on the right. ---

Tried to move it anywhere on the right pane but no effect. Even reinstalling does not help. Maybe there is some ui settings where i can just change chat and composers positions. If reinstalling does not help - there should be some settings in files or windows regedit where the position of chat and composer reside ) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/cursor1/original/3X/c/3/c38c146b77f4803ea4865553385c844fa822c246.png) ---

This command should set everything back to defaults: ![Screenshot 2025-02-04 at 14.59.14](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/cursor1/original/3X/4/a/4a86db60ad24b7b5fc4a6faaaef65e45d7f25fc6.png) ---
