Unable to load any previous chats since update to Cursor v1.2.4

Describe the Bug

After update to Cursor 1.2.4, and then trying to open any previous Chats in the composer, from “Show Chat History” in the AI Panel, the message appears “Loading Chat” with loading spinner and then about 5-10 seconds later it just stops, but with a “New Chat” opened instead at the top with whatever the current selected file in the editor as context.

Steps to Reproduce
