Hey, thanks for the report. From the screenshot, it looks like the buttons are actually there, but they’re invisible because the icon color matches the background. This is a known contrast issue on dark themes.
The most common cause is the titleBar.activeForeground setting in workbench.colorCustomizations often set by the Peacock extension. Try this:
Open settings.json via Ctrl+Shift+P, then run Open User Settings (JSON)
Find workbench.colorCustomizations. If it has titleBar.activeForeground, delete that line or change it to a lighter color like #cccccc
If you use Peacock, try disabling it
If you don’t have any customizations, try running cursor --disable-extensions in your terminal and check if the buttons show up.
Additionally, there’s no evidence the buttons are there but stylistically hidden. When I click my mouse in the region where the buttons should be nothing happens.
On top of this I’m hit the recent but of Cursor auto-updating even when set not to, so I have to this 3 to 2.6 regression almost every day now. Thanks. Wish you’d at least acknowledge this is still a problem.
The chat panel was reworked quite a bit since 3.0.x, so there’s a good chance the issue you ran into isn’t happening anymore in the current version 3.16.x. If you update to the latest version and still don’t see the New Chat and History buttons, can you open a new thread with your current version info and a screenshot? That’ll help us take a fresh and accurate look at what’s going on now, instead of digging into an old build.
