I just upgraded to newest client. I can use my keyboard and type in CHAT but unable to type in COMPOSER. I created a new composer using CTRL-N with no success. Seems that COMPOSER is not working at all for me. I am also a paid subscriber to Cursor AI.

I restarted the client in administrative mode and my ability to type inside COMPOSER worked! I then closed the client and opened it without Administrator privilege and my composer continued to work with respect to the ability to type within the composer pane. So, I am not exactly sure why it works now but I don’t need to know as I just want to be able to work. ---

I have this problem. The admin solution didn’t work for me. Fortunately I found another, quicker ‘fix’. 1 - Drag it from right side bar to left side bar 2 - Drag it back ---
