Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

Cursor currently isn’t accepting any new prompts for any of my projects. When I click enter a new blank black screen appears where the chat usually appears.

It also seems that when I paste an image from the clipboard into the chat it duplicates the image.

I’m able to continue to leverage some of the old chats I have and continue progress that way but new chats are non functional.

After clearing old chats and vacuuming the blank new chat screen issue seems to be resolved but the duplicate image from clipboard issue has not

Steps to Reproduce

Open Cursor (newest version) and attempt to paste an image. Two images get put into the chat

Expected Behavior

Only one image should be pasted in the chat

Does this stop you from using Cursor

Sometimes - I can sometimes use Cursor

Hey @schybo_insta

Looks like there are two separate things here:

1. Duplicate image when pasting (Cmd+V) This one isn’t anything on your end. Pasting with Cmd+V in the Agents Window is currently registering twice on macOS, so a single image gets attached twice. It’s not intended behavior, and it’s something we’ve already identified and addressed on our side - it’ll roll out in an upcoming update.

In the meantime, the most reliable ways to add an image are:

  • Drag-and-drop it straight into the prompt, or add it with the attach button in the input - both attach it just once.
  • If you’ve already pasted and see two copies, click the ✕ on one of the thumbnails to remove the duplicate before sending.

2. Blank/black screen on new chats Glad that clearing out your old chats sorted this one - that lines up with a local chat-history store that had grown large. If it comes back, let me know and we’ll take a closer look.

I’ll follow up here once the paste fix is out. Let me know if anything else comes up!
