Hello,

I am on MacOS, Version: 0.42.3, VSCode Version: 1.93.1

I am unable to open the AI Chat sidebar with either cmd + L or manually through command pallete + open chat.

It gives the following error:

Command ‘Cursor: Open Chat’ resulted in an error [aichat] No last focused bubble available

Thanks

Hi and thanks for your response.

The issue still persists after reinstalling.

EDIT: This is only a problem when using SSH, it works fine otherwise.

EDIT 2: I’ve just downgraded to the cursor version 0.39.6 and it is now working fine.
