Describe the Bug

The chat box is either lagging OR blocking the typing when cursor is doing stuff.
C’mon. It’s been so many versions ago. recently the whole UI starts to freeze.
I am using it on Mac and Ubuntu and always update to the latest version.
I like that you’re pushing new versions almost daily but please fix this as it’s annoying as hell!
I couldn’t even COPY the version info. it won’t copy to clipboard.
I had to ask chatgpt to parse the screenshot!

Steps to Reproduce

just chatting

Expected Behavior

to NOT freeze the chat or the editor boxes. I want to just append the extra fixes and it can queue them up.

I am just noticing that it freezes also when I open or switch to the app [cursor]!

this is happening even with an empty chat ?!?
