Cursor chat jump between editor and pane when send content to chat

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

Steps to Reproduce

enable allow chat in editor, have a conversation with it and add some context from terminal to it. doen’t happen everytime but quite often.

Expected Behavior

chat keep where it is, not randomly shift between layout

Operating System

Windows 10/11

Current Cursor Version (Menu → About Cursor → Copy)

2.4.0-pre.13.patch.0

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, thanks for the report. This looks like a bug with the chat-in-editor feature. There are a few known issues with switching the layout.

Can you check a couple things:

  1. Does the issue reproduce on the stable version (not pre-release)?
  2. Does the same thing happen when adding content from other sources, or only when using “Add to Chat” from the terminal?

If it turns out this also happens on the stable version, I’ll file a ticket for the team, since this specific issue with terminal content isn’t being tracked separately yet.

  1. I have seen this since the 1.x version, but I didn’t confirm for the latest stable version specifically, switching versions back in cursor is not very handy 2. seems only happens with Add to Chat from terminal, from another editer tab looks fine
