I been using Cursor today and somehow I closed the AI chat so I retoggle AI panel but the AI chat window isn’t returning … AI panel is just blank nothing in it.

I restarted Cursor and toggle AI panel again still nothing ..

how I get the AI chat back on again?

I don’t like paying for something I can’t use.

Thanks  
Bill

I rebooted my Macbook Pro and start a new code and the chat windows opens up in AI panel again …

I think this must be some type of a bug because I am seeing several reporting this in the bug category.

I tried reproducing it and found following:

When you move Chat from Pane to Editor the Chat becomes an Editor Tab, if you then try to open the pane it shows an empty pane.

As others have reported the same issue i suggest verifying this and marking as solved if thats the case. easier then to share with others as a clear solution to switch Chat back to Pane.

Otherwise starting a new project or even restarting the machine would be a possible solution 🙂

That the problem .. I did not move it to editor panel. The chat just appeared in there and that confused me ..

I went back a version and now it can’t see all files I have loaded in the editor just the first one I loaded. I wanted AI to check and compare files loaded in editor panel
