Response window becomes unreadable after agent edits file with active quick chat (Ctrl+K)

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

I was working in the IDE and opened the quick chat form with Ctrl+K in a file.
Then I selected the Question mode (Alt+Enter) and the model generated a response.
At the same time, I gave a task to an agent in the main chat, and the agent made changes to the same file where the quick chat response was displayed.
After the agent’s edit, the diff view made the quick chat response unreadable.

Steps to Reproduce

Open a file in the IDE.

Press Ctrl+K to open the quick chat form.

Select Question mode (Alt+Enter) and wait for the model’s response.

In parallel, send a task to an agent that modifies the same file.

Observe the quick chat response area after the agent’s changes are applied.

Expected Behavior

The quick chat response should remain readable and properly formatted even if the file is modified by an agent or a diff is generated.
