Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, does this happen in a new chat or a long one? In my experience, sometimes you need to click on your message for the button to appear.

I think it happens with chats of all lengths for me. And clicking on the message doesn’t help. As I said, the work-around is just closing cursor and re-opening, and then I can see all the restore checkpoint buttons on all the recent messages.

I believe this is a simple UI issue (that certainly needs addressing!)

I find it will show on clicking on/off different parts of the chat - not intuitive, but it will show. It seems to require the focus to be/not be on a certain aspect of the chat.
