"Fix in Chat" broken multi-screen + crash

Bug Reports

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

When I tear off an editor tab and place it on another monitor, “Fix in Chat” no longer works correctly. It doesn’t usually crash, but it can.

This is with agent in sidebar, not editor mode.

By “no longer works correctly” I mean:

  • Focus does get sent to the main window correctly
  • Agent chat box stays at 1 line height and no text appears
  • The text box is very broken: can not type. if I try and type and then hit delete, text from the “Fix in Chat” feature starts to appear but I can not select all with my keyboard to remove it. The chat does not expand to be taller so it is hard to see what is in the box. After a little bit of trying, the text seems to disappear entirely…?

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open editor tab in main window
  2. hover lint error and click “Fix in Chat” button.
    — This should work as expected —
  3. Tear of editor and place on another monitor/screen
  4. Use feature again and you should see the issue.

Expected Behavior

Same as main window behavior.
