Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey @islam, thanks for the report! Taking these one at a time:

Missing minimize / restore / close buttons: this is a known issue in the Agents Window on Windows, and I’ve added your report to it. The buttons are still there and clickable, they just stop drawing (usually after opening Search or the command palette). Fully quitting Cursor and reopening it brings them back for now.

Two Agents Windows: the Agents Window is designed as a single window, so “Switch to Agents Window” brings the one that’s already open to the front. You can still run several agents at the same time inside it: start each one with New Agent (the + in the sidebar) and switch between them from the sidebar or drag and drop them into the main window to tile them so you can view multiple agents at once!

Ctrl+W closing two tabs: could you try this and tell me what happens?

  1. Open the Agents Window and select one agent.
  2. Open the Browser (or any file) in the right-hand panel so there’s a tab there.
  3. Click once inside that tab so it has focus.
  4. Press Ctrl+W once.

Which two things disappear (two browser tabs, a tab plus a chat, a tab plus the whole panel)? Does it also happen with a file tab, or only with the Browser? A short screen recording would be ideal.

The reason why i wanted to separeted agents is because i’m working on more projects and they should be seperated so that the information doesn’t mix. i’m having the problem that all my information is mixing when using mutliple workspaces in on agent window.
