I would often cite multiple UI elements inside the chat box, however after the new update with the visual editor, you cannot select multiple as it constantly just overides to the last element you click.
Steps to Reproduce
Click the select element button, select an element, then select another element.
Expected Behavior
Each element you selected would appear sequentelly in the chat box.
Operating System
Windows 10/11
Current Cursor Version (Menu → About Cursor → Copy)
same bug is happening to me. Before the latest update, I could select multiple items at once in the same agent conversation. now is impossible, since it’s mixed up with the new CSS selector. makes very difficult to work with cursor now. please fix!
Thanks! Could you guys also pls fix the new bug where every time the user chooses "‘Select Element’ to add it to the recent chat, Cursor opens a NEW chat and adds the desired element.
Because of this you loose all context when adding items to an existing chat, which makes this useful feature practically useless now.
I used to be able to select an element to in browser straight to chat I was having with the agent, no every time I select an element it opens up a new chat and I lose all the context. This is so frustrating!
Steps to Reproduce
Just select an element in the browser while chatting with an agent.
Expected Behavior
Just let us select an element straight to the chat again! Please!

Description:
The “Select Element” feature in Cursor IDE no longer allows selecting multiple elements simultaneously as it did previously. When attempting to select multiple DOM elements using the CSS selector, only the last clicked element remains selected, overwriting previous selections.
Expected Behavior:
Ability to select multiple DOM elements using Shift+Click or Cmd/Ctrl+Click
All selected elements should be added to the chat simultaneously
Previous selections should be maintained when clicking on new elements
Actual Behavior:
Only the last clicked element is selected
Previous selections are lost when clicking on a new element
It’s not possible to add multiple elements to the chat in a single selection session
Steps to Reproduce
Open a web application in Cursor’s integrated browser
Activate the “Select Element” feature (CSS selector)
Attempt to select multiple elements using Shift+Click or Cmd+Click
Observe that only the last selected element remains in the selection
Expected Behavior
This bug appears to be related to the recent update that incorporated the visual editor. The issue has been reported by other users on the Cursor community forum.
