Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, thanks for the report and the screenshot. I can see that narrow strip instead of the normal input field when you use Rename Chat.

This is a known issue with how the rename field renders in the Chats sidebar, and we’re tracking it. I can’t share an exact timeline yet, but I’ll post an update here when I have one.

As a temporary workaround, you can type the new name “blind” and press Enter. The input still works, it’s just visually collapsed. Or try renaming the chat with the sidebar expanded, if that helps. Let me know if either option doesn’t work.
