Yeah, I have the same problem. Is that a bug and is OpenAI already working to fix this?
Get on the page of your conversation and refresh the page. Normally, it will automatically get you on the 2/2 chat
I’ve tried that many times, as well as restarting my laptop. Also tried on another computer today. The issue remains. What should I do?
yes, i am gpt pro user and the edit button (the pencil icon) is lost in all modes, o3-mini, 4o, o1, o3 high

I hope they’ll fix it soon. I use the edit tool often and without it, the site is pretty much unusable

This is a stupid question from myself, who knows next to nothing about coding, CSS, js, etc., but what the heck could they possibly be tinkering with in the background that causes the UI of all things to constantly bug out in new ways practically every other day? Like, did they just style the page in a very needlessly overcomplicated and inefficient way?
Whether it be icons not appearing or disappearing until you click on a specific message.
If it’s not the branches and regenerations then it’s the edit prompt button (especially on the first prompt in a new chat).
If it’s not the edit button it’s something with the chat history (refuses to load, duplicates listings).
If it’s not the history then it’s the send prompt button refusing to work when editing a previous prompt until you refresh the page and try editing said message again.
Sometimes while typing a prompt, or editing an old one, the page will seemingly at random, sort of “half-refresh”: the previous messages in the chat conversation will disappear from above, the model will inexplicably swap to ChatGPT Mini, and if I didn’t cut and copy my prompt constantly as i went, I then have to retype a paragraph or two, completely forgetting how I worded things the first rime and just leading to needless frustration.
And if it’s not that, it’s a model reasoning, finishing reasoning and then not actually showing the response itself until you’ve refreshed the page once or twice. Or alternatively, while in the middle of reasoning give some sort of error or “something went wrong”, but when you refresh the page it is either still reasoning or the response has them been successfully laid out.
Hell, sometimes even one the oldest computer techniques, good old “highlight, copy” doesn’t even always work due to whatever weird way they box the prompt and response boxes. Nothing like going to paste a paragraph and just getting blank space.
It’s ridiculous. Practically a new issue every time I use the website.

found a furina fan in wild LMAOOOO 
we do not need to pay attention to that .-.
I have the same issue, only the pencil shows up for some of my prompts in a conversation but not all, it is strange.
Well, I haven’t copied my last two good response, and it’s gone. I hope they fix it also restore it.

I need to fix this soon 
I’m getting hard time with half of my writtings gone (checking what models fit better for me)… Now I need to have individual chats and if I fail in the imputs, is very painful that I can’t even edit.
i discovered this error about 1 week ago. At first chatgpt still replied but it kept repeating the answer without executing the command unless you wrote the command directly on canvas and asked it to execute. But now it’s over, it freezes, when i reload it the function shows that it is locked.
Hey! I’m so happy that I’m not the only one facing this issue! I’m experiencing the same bug as all of you. When is this going to be fixed?
I’m subscribed to ChatGPT Plus, but all of these bugs are seriously starting to outweigh the benefits.

The edit is mostly dissapeared, it appears from time to time but I’m not able to use it anymore. In the whole day I only saw it once. Currently edit button is still not able.

When they will fix this problem?! It’s beyond ridiculous with their 0/2 errors! 2 days passed since it started occurring! Does somebody knows a solution or manual ways to fix it?
