Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?
Cursor IDE
Describe the Bug
Cursor recognizes that an image is attached, but it cannot actually interpret or analyze what is shown. Instead, it searches the project for a text description or reference to the image and bases its response on that. I tested fresh windows, different images, chats, and models, but the problem continues. Image understanding previously worked normally.
Steps to Reproduce
Open Cursor IDE and start a new chat or agent session.
Attach an image using the image upload button.
Ask Cursor to describe or analyze the image.
Cursor recognizes that an image is attached but cannot read its visual contents.
It instead searches the project for a text description or reference to the image.
Expected Behavior
Cursor should directly analyze the attached image and accurately respond based on its visible contents without searching the project for a description.
Operating System

Version Information
