Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?
Cursor IDE
Describe the Bug
When I detach a chat from the main sidebar and open it in a separate editor tab/window (editor view), attaching screenshots or images no longer works — uploads fail or never appear in the chat.
Steps to Reproduce
teps to reproduce:
Open a chat in Cursor.
Move/separate the chat into its own editor window (editor view, detached from the main panel).
Try to attach or paste a screenshot/image into that chat.
Image does not upload / attach successfully.
Expected: Images and screenshots upload the same way as in the main sidebar chat.
Actual: Images/screenshots do not upload when the chat is in a detached editor window.
