I have been using cursor for a few days, and recently did a reinstall. My composer now appears to have no functionality. Any message sent to it gets no response, and there is not even a response window where it should appear.

Previously my composer was docked to the right screen with composer and chat as tabs at the top. Now I can only get the pictured version and it doesn’t respond. Any help would be very much appreciated, Thanks!

Hey, it seems you have an older version of Cursor. Composer currently has a different look. Please let me know which version of Cursor you’re using. Also, try the shortcut Ctrl + D, hopefully, it will reset it.
