Cursor chat is not seeing the files I share with it using the add context feature

Describe the Bug

When I add files using the ‘add context’ in the chat, cursor isn’t seeing them.

Steps to Reproduce

IDK, sometimes it works but sometimes it doesn’t. I’m adding a file to the message context, and it doesn’t see it, (it will even ask me to provide the file)

Expected Behavior

Cursor chat is supposed to see the files I add to a message context and use it to respond.

I have the same problem. As you mentioned, it is intermittent. I can usually work around it by just copy and pasting the file in directly.
