10/01/2025, 10:47 PMalso tried seeing if maybe Graphite Chat had some tools/context and could do it for me -- alas it has no idea what "apply the change" means in the context of the graphite editor

10/02/2025, 1:50 PMHey Tyler, I cannot see what took place in the chat outside of your screenshot but here is a simple test i did:
1) ask for suggestion
2) tell it to apply one of the changes it suggested
3) click apply
after i click apply i see an indication (spinner on the blue button) that its making the change, and once done there will be a line that says "*Changes applied"*
Let me know what workflow you took so i can see whats happening~

> User cannot apply changes in the Graphite Editor (PR page > "..." at top > "Open in editor"); making changes in the editor and clicking "Apply changes" does nothing.

10/02/2025, 6:34 PMAha! my apologies i totally misread! Yes i see this behavior as well. I will log this as a bug. As a short term solution, I got it to work by making a simple statement to the chat and then it allowed me to click the apply changes button.

10/13/2025, 9:36 PMappreciated - i won't bump too often, mostly just providing more data every few weeks if i notice/remember.
got it out of the state by using the chat like you did last time 👍

10/24/2025, 8:09 PMgot the actual apply button to work today, but took these steps
1. open the editor
2. make a change in it
3. click apply 🐛 does nothing
4. say anything in chat
5. click apply -> it works this time? ✅
maybe... apply doesn't work unless the chat has been used in some way?

12/23/2025, 2:18 PMhey Tyler, circling back to confirm the in-app editor no longer requires a chat to be started to apply changes 👍
