Describe the Bug

I have Chat open and asking it about my code.
Sometimes when I click an empty space in the chat, cursor decides to update my open scripts and replace some random keys with //.
Undo (Ctrl+Z) fixes my code back to what it was, but it does it to multiple open tabs. Annoying af.

It happens constantly.
Happened on previous versions, then updated Cursor and still happens.

Steps to Reproduce

Talk in chat about your code and when there are some code outputs, click in the empty space of the chat.
Double-check your code.

Expected Behavior

Absolutely nothing lol.
I have a habit of clicking empty parts of the screen.

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Update

This is happening every time I send a prompt to the Chat window.?
Happened with the Composer too… Will check my extensions.
I only have these extensions enabled for comments, but never had this problem before:
