Not reading files and using them as context

Bug Report
1

Describe the Bug

When I add files to use as context for my code Cursor does not seem to read it. Also when I attempt to copy and paste my code into the chat box it is stored above that chat which Cursor seems to not read either. Actually when the code is copied and pasted in it has a chance of working I would say a 20% chance of it actually working.

Steps to Reproduce

I was just using the chat function nothing special.

Expected Behavior

Its meant to read my code and using it as context for an improved output

Current Cursor Version (Menu → About Cursor → Copy)

I apologize if this is stupid of me but I couldn’t find the Menu and by god, I tried.
Anyway, I just updated it this morning its 1/7/2025 and the time is 1:14 pm EST. I hope that helps this should be the newest current version.

Same bug for me. Both adding files to context by + icon and manualy copying to the input field - it doesnt see it. Using Claude 3.5 sonnet

After some more testing I found that I happens after about 5 or more promts in the same chat. If I create a new chat it can read my current code again. Hope that helps you in some way.
