### Where does the bug appear (feature/product)? Cursor IDE ### Describe the Bug Previously, we could add contacts from other chats to new or ongoing chats. My cursor no longer allows this when typing @, and chats no longer appear in the options list. This feature has been removed. My chats reach 93% usage and then do nothing else after that. ### Steps to Reproduce start a new chat ### Screenshots / Screen Recordings ![Captura de tela 2025-12-16 095219.png](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/cursor1/original/3X/0/9/095859af63b0b16d87dc1991c58c57d88fdf6306.png) ### Operating System Windows 10/11 ### Current Cursor Version (Menu → About Cursor → Copy) Version: 2.1.42 (user setup) VSCode Version: 1.105.1 Commit: 2e353c5f5b30150ff7b874dee5a87660693d9de0 Date: 2025-12-01T02:18:26.377Z Electron: 37.7.0 Chromium: 138.0.7204.251 Node.js: 22.20.0 V8: 13.8.258.32-electron.0 OS: Windows\_NT x64 10.0.26200 ### Does this stop you from using Cursor No - Cursor works, but with this issue ---

I see the Past chat as an option for to add context, but when I click it it writes " No option available. In the same case, you can export the old chat that you want to add as context, and then add the exported chat file to the new chat prompt that is opened. It works in the same way as adding the chat as context. ---

### Where does the bug appear (feature/product)? Cursor IDE ### Describe the Bug ## Description Not sure if dupe, But this feature seems to be broken. Past chats dont show up in dropdown. Drag drop to context window also doesnt work. Its pretty annoying as I’m forced to stay on thread or completely lose context between them. A hacky bypass is to get one to export an MD and then pull it into the new chat. But this is time consuming, pollutes the filespace and potentially wastes tokens ### Steps to Reproduce Try to referencer a previous chat in a agent chat thread. Previous chats dont show up in agent reference dropdown. Drag drop to context window also doesnt work. ### Expected Behavior It should link a previous chat to context. ### Operating System MacOS ### Current Cursor Version (Menu → About Cursor → Copy) Version: 2.2.36 (Universal) VSCode Version: 1.105.1 Commit: 55c9bc11e99cedd1fb93fbb7996abf779c583150 Date: 2025-12-18T06:25:21.733Z (22 hrs ago) Electron: 37.7.0 Chromium: 138.0.7204.251 Node.js: 22.20.0 V8: 13.8.258.32-electron.0 OS: Darwin arm64 24.3.0 ### For AI issues: which model did you use?
