Cursor IDE
I’m unable to open or access historical chats. They just seem frozen
Go to chat history. Click on any previous chat and try opening it. They seem blocked.
One should be able to access any historical chat they desire
MacOS
Version: 2.6.11 (Universal)
Sometimes - I can sometimes use Cursor
Similar issue:
I’ve just got the 2.6 update, this new chat history UI is the worst since Cursor release in my opinion, and despite numerous “don’t mess up the UI” threads, we still get weird UI thing updates.
I almost felt like putting this thread in the bug section.
When clicking on the chat history icon, the only option now is to “archive” chats.
I can’t even anymore quickly:
see the current selected agent/chat (in order to rename/delete)
rename agent/chat
delete agent/chat
You don’t even know where…
As noted here, this is a bug specifically with editor classic, if you switch out of editor classic the bug goes away.

My historical chat is disappeared LOL.
you may find them in the agents side bar, see here:
The archived chats are only found in the agents side bar.

But you first have to be in the new layout mode, which requires clicking on this double arrow (if you see it)

If you ever want to go back to classic layout with the double arrow, have to press Ctrl+E (windows) or Cmd + E (mac)

Hey, this is a known bug in 2.6.11 related to the editor classic layout. As @MidnightOak already said, the workaround is to click the double arrows icon at the top right of the chat panel to switch out of the classic layout.
More details in this thread: [2.6.11] Clicking On Chat in Chat History Not Working
The team is aware of the issue. Let me know if switching the layout doesn’t help.
