Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, thanks for the report and the video. This is a known limitation of the new Agents Window Glass layout. Drag and drop for files and images into chat doesn’t work reliably everywhere yet, unlike the regular editor layout. I can’t share an ETA for a fix right now.

The good news is you already found a workaround. Pasting from the clipboard with Cmd+V works reliably for screenshots, so I’d recommend using that for now.

We’ve logged the issue on our side. If there’s an update, I’ll reply in the thread.
