phoenix.new - Unable to type into the chat box

CleanShot 2025-06-22 at 11.43.52

“Reply to fly” won’t accept input. I tried on Chrome and Firefox.

In my limited experience, it’s blocked until the Setting up your IDE panel on the right finishes loading. Once that’s loaded, the chat input is no longer disabled for me.

We don’t allow focus/prompts until the IDE handshake completes, but looks like yours is wedged. I’ll dig in now, but can you try hamburger menu => Restart IDE to see if it comes back up?

The VM is in a failed state with some corrupted fs issues. Restarting it does not bring it back, so give us a bit to sort things out for you. Sorry for the hangups!

I had to hard reset your IDE – so sorry about that. First time we’re seeing something like this. Please gives things another go, and I’ll be happy to throw some credits your way once you hit limits. Thanks!

Thanks @chrismccord !

I’ve had what I think is the same issue since day 1… “Setting up your IDE” never finishes, so I can’t do anything. (I’ve tried “Restart IDE”, no joy.)

I’m guessing you used the address in the screenshot to identify the failed instance, so here’s one of mine: https://workspace.phoenix.new/i/chats/8dvnz1

Sorry about that! Your fs was corrupted and I needed to hard reset your IDE. You’re good to go now! I threw some credits your way for the trouble :slight_smile:
