Cursor IDE
Hey, recently using Developer: Restart extension host on cursor has caused the AI window to fail. You can type but every time you click upload there’s a brief loading icon then nothing and it appears as though you never clicked it.
To test this simply open the AI panel then do cmd + space >restart extension host then click the Developer: Restart extension host and try to use the AI panel to chat.

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, thanks for the report.
Can you check a couple of things as a temporary fix:
Run “Developer: Reload Window” or fully restart Cursor Cmd+Q - does the AI chat start sending again?
Does the bug repeat with extensions disabled? Launch from terminal: cursor --disable-extensions and repeat the steps.
And help with diagnostics:
Open Help > Toggle Developer Tools, reproduce the bug (after Restart Extension Host) and send errors from the Console tab.
Tell me if other AI inputs work after that (CMD+K / Inline Edit)?
If you can send a message at least once, copy the Request ID (in chat menu > Copy Request ID).
If it reproduces stably even without extensions - we’ll raise a bug for fix.

this works but is extremely annoying to do because it closes all of my terminals too.

yes.
