Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

Hello, today, after the last update, which is getting very annoying, the “Add File to Cursor Chat” function stopped working, only if I open a new chat twice, then the file will be added to the second chat. And please remove the popup sidebar with the agent history, my mouse often spontaneously points to the edge of the right screen and a window with the chat history pops up. Previously, there was a more user-friendly interface, please do not make drastic changes, as this interferes with the workflow.

Steps to Reproduce

Select the file , click right button, choose Add File to Cursor Chat, and nothing will be added, add the second new chat and repeat the steps , and it will be added

Hey thanks for the report. I think this doesn’t work only if you’re in agent mode. In editor mode everything works smoothly.

I’ll pass this to the team.

Ive had this in the past but hasn’t happened so much recently.
Sometimes it just doesn’t like a file presumably due to some edge case bug but its fixed when I restart cursor
