Assistant doesn't consistently see content of opened files with cursor context #2639

When working with files opened in the editor (with cursor context), the Assistant sometimes fails to "see" the file content, leading to incorrect recommendations.
Project contains more than 6000 files.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open a file in the editor (code-design.mdc in this case)
  2. File is visible with cursor context
  3. Ask Assistant about the content or request changes
  4. Assistant responds as if the file is not visible or accessible

Expected behavior:

  • Assistant should consistently see and work with content of files opened with cursor context
  • Provide recommendations based on actual file content
  • Acknowledge that file is open and accessible

Actual behavior:

  • Assistant sometimes doesn't "see" the opened file
  • Makes recommendations to add content that already exists
  • Only recognizes file content when explicitly shown via screenshot or text paste

Impact:

  • Incorrect recommendations
  • Redundant suggestions
  • Confusion in dialogue
  • Extra time spent clarifying file content

Environment:

  • Claude 3 Sonnet
  • File opened with cursor context
  • Markdown file (.mdc)
  • Version: claude-3-sonnet-20240229
  • Cursor version: v1.7.0
  • Project size: 6000+ files

Additional notes:
This appears to be an intermittent issue with cursor context handling rather than a general file visibility problem.
