[Major composer bug] Composer removes referenced files when switching editors

Bug Report
1

Steps to reproduce:

  1. / Reference open editors in Composer.
  2. Type something
  3. Navigate to another open file.
  4. Composer file state resets to only include the file you’ve navigated to, while the rest of the referenced files are gone.

This makes it impossible to reference files in composer and navigate to another open editor without some clunky copy pasting.

The same seems to be happening in Long Context Chat (haven’t tested in Normal chat)

Just documenting my experience with the Reference Open Editors feature.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. In Ctrl + L chat, with no text in chat, type /
  2. Select the Reference Open Editors option
  3. No files seem to be added to the chat context

Yes this keeps happening to me too and it drives me nuts! The Cursor team need to focus on stability instead of new features for a while!
