I just upgraded Cursor and paste isn’t working in chat. MacOS 14.4.1, Cursor Version: 0.38.1.
Clarifying, paste works unless you seemingly copy/paste a prior conversation that contained an @.

In case it is related, in Composer I have noticed that if I try and paste a multi line piece of text where a line starts with a space or a comma, it won’t paste, but if I remove the space or comma, it does paste. I think there may have been other characters that produced this behaviour too, but can’t remember them off the top of my head.
Update:
It also happens if the lines start with an @.
Perhaps it has something to do with how Cursor is parsing characters like this for the @ symbols functionality…
I have the same issue, filed it here: Can't paste into Cursor UIs · Issue #1591 · getcursor/cursor · GitHub
But I’d love any info/updates on it. I’m happy to help debug/test anything. It makes Cursor feel completely broken… .

I have found if the text I am pasting has lines that start with a space or an apostrophe (or an @ symbol), then it won’t paste, but if I remove them, then it does paste. I think it might have also occurred when other characters were at the start of the line too, eg commas.
I doesn’t matter for me. I literally can’t paste anything.

ignore me, looks like some extension added a paste shortcut that somehow only overrode cursor UIs. I have no idea how it happened, but deleting it from the keyboard shortcuts solved it for me.
I am having a similar issues. I can paste 1 line at a time from a code file into chat, but multiple lines won’t paste. Also the “add to chat” option on highlighted text in a code file does nothing, doesn’t add to chat.
I got it to work kinda, if I open a “folder” from cursor then paste starts working. It’s still a bit buggy, where sometimes opening a folder will fail and I’ll still see just the single file I was looking at, but atleast paste starts working.
