Describe the Bug I recently updated Cursor. Prior to update I was able to paste code into the chat and it was treated as text. Now when I paste code into the chat, it is converted into Context (ie index.html lines 1-59) that seems to be invisible to the AI. This is blocking me from being able to …

It might be an issue with the codebase indexing. Try resyncing the index in Settings → Features. Then restart Cursor and try again. If that doesn’t work, see if manually @ing the file fixes the issue.
