Cursor IDE
Describe the Bug
When creating a new chat, the previous model is retained, ignoring the model of the default mode.
Steps to Reproduce
Have a custom mode with a defined model.
Set it as the ‘Default Mode’.
Select a different mode with a different model.
Create a new chat. The default mode will be selected, but with the last used model (not the mode’s model).
Expected Behavior
A new chat should use the default mode’s model.
