Unable to focus on previous chat editor when Internal Browser is active

[Ols]

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

When I have the AI chat open and try to edit a previous chat message, if I have the Internal Browser open, it seems the Internal Browser is hogging the focus/cursor and I’m unable to type into the previous chat message editor.

It may only occur if the Internal Browser is on a page with other input boxes.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Send 2-3 chat messages
2. Open the Internal Browser alongside the agent chat window (to a page with Input boxes?)
3. Select a previous chat message in the chat window
4. Observe that you’re no longer able to type in the previous chat editor input box

Expected Behavior

I should be able to edit the previous chat message

Operating System

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, thanks for the report. It looks like a focus management conflict between the Internal Browser and the chat editor.

I’ll pass this to the team. As a temporary workaround, close the Internal Browser panel when you need to edit earlier chat messages.
