Lost my chat history when selected open chat as editor

I was cusing cursor and there was a chat history of the same chat. I was trying to move chat to an independent window of its own and selected the option “Open Chat as Editor” but post this action I cant seem to locate the history of my chat in this chat window but the window remains open and I cant close the chat window as well.

Sharing the screen shot from where I selected the option and post that as to how does the chat window looks now.

How do i get back my chat history for this window

Sharing my cursor version

This is such a frivolous issue due this single clikc now I have lost all my chats for other projects as well in Cursor

If you reopen Cursor, select the “Agent” view, and open the Agent sidebar (that lists all the chats), is your chat inside?

No the cursor ide itself doesn’t show anything else other than black screen with no buttons and no menu selection

I also got locked chat screens, the chat input size is weird, i have tabs that i cannot close anymore

In this video you can see that the UI is acting funny


In this screenshot the chat height is wrong, and the past chat randomly in the middle are also weird, none of this was broken yesterday even after installing the last update

Related to this, i was having problem with a workspace, i managed to fix another one but once i reopened the one that i was having issues with earlier it completely broke.

Frankly unable to recover chats which are like 3-4 months of work on different apps and task was a big loss for me. The app becoming unresponsive and unusable post one click on some option is very bad there should have been some way to restore and recover cursor app post crash or such unresponsive behavior
