Switch to new tab error

[furki]

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

After performing actions in the current tab, when I re-enter the prompt and open a new tab, the prompt I entered should appear in the input field of the new tab. Everything I wrote is deleted when I open a new tab.

Steps to Reproduce

Enter a prompt. Wait for the Cursor to complete. When the operation summary appears, complete the operation, enter a new prompt, and click the new tab button.

Operating System

MacOS

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, your text should stay on the previous tab, but thanks for reporting this, we’ll work on improving it.

Actually, it would be great if my text could be moved to a new tab. VSCode does it this way.
