Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

My window.title is configured to include the active editor and separator:

“window.title”: “${activeEditorMedium}${separator}${rootName}”

But in the Agent layout, the window title shows only rootName instead of the full configured value.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Configure a custom window.title.
  2. Switch to the Agent layout.

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, thanks for the report. The window.title settings only work in the Editor layout. The Agent layout uses its own logic for the window title and doesn’t apply these configs.

This is expected behavior, not a bug.

Thanks for the clarification. That said, should Cursor allow users to customize the title bar further? There’s a lot of unused space that could display more useful information.

Thanks for asking. Right now, customizing the title bar in the Agent layout isn’t supported. The Agent layout uses a fixed title display (the workspace name).

If this matters for your workflow, please create a feature request. That helps the team understand the demand for this.
