Describe the Bug
The Cursor Chat Model selector (the dropdown used to choose the specific language model for chat interactions) disappears.This means I am unable to switch between models and stuck on whatever model was last used. This functionality is essential for effective use of Cursor’s chat features.
Steps to Reproduce
Open Cursor.
Open the main Chat window (either using a shortcut or by clicking the chat icon).
Observe that the Chat Model selector is not present at the bottom of the chat area. It is completely missing.
Attempt to initiate an inline code edit by pressing Ctrl+K within a code file.
Observe that the Chat Model selector is visible and functional at the top of the inline edit prompt.
The Chat Model selector in the main chat window is still absent, even after using the inline editor.
Closing and reopening Cursor does not fix the issue in the main chat window; the selector never appears.
Expected Behavior
The Chat Model selector should be visible and accessible in both the main Chat window and the inline code edit feature. Its absence in the main Chat window is a bug, especially given its presence in the inline code edit functionality. The selector should consistently provide the user to select a model in any chat related function.

Additional Information
The model selector is never present in the main chat window, but is consistently present and functional within the inline code edit (Ctrl+K) functionality. This suggests the underlying functionality is present and correctly implemented, but there is an issue displaying the selector within the main chat window. There is no way to select a model via the main chat window
