Repo opens second-most recent chat instead of latest when opening a repository

Describe the Bug

In Cursor version 1.4.3 (Universal) on macOS (Darwin arm64 24.6.0), opening a repository does not automatically show the most recent chat. Instead, it defaults to the second-most recent chat thread. This causes confusion and makes it harder to continue the latest conversation.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Using Cursor 1.4.3 (Universal) with VSCode 1.99.3 on macOS (Darwin arm64 24.6.0), open a repository that has multiple chat threads.
  2. Close the repository or exit Cursor.
  3. Reopen the same repository.
  4. Observe that the interface focuses on the previous (second-most recent) chat instead of the most recent chat thread.

Expected behavior: When a repository is opened, the most recently created chat thread should be selected and displayed by default.

Actual behavior: Cursor selects the prior chat thread instead of the latest one.

Expected Behavior

When opening a repository, Cursor should automatically focus on and display the most recently created chat thread.

Hey, thanks for the report. Could you let me know if this happens with other projects as well, or just with this one?

I’ve seen it happening in many projects (maybe all of them, not sure)
