I recently discovered a strange issue. After updating Cursor, when connecting to an Overleaf workspace and trying to ask questions about tex documents, only the generate function works properly, while the chat function gets stuck in an infinite loading state. Interestingly, this problem doesn’t occur when opening tex files locally.

I eventually solved this problem by downgrading to an older version of Cursor, which restored normal query functionality on Overleaf.

I have the same issue. May I ask which version works?  
In 0.45.17, I got `TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'initWithRipgreplgnore')` in `Codebase Indexing`, while it is in an infinite loading state in version 0.47
