Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?
Cursor IDE
Describe the Bug
Agent panel opens aggressively by default; “Editor window” in Agents doesn’t focus the current project
When I use Cursor, the UI keeps opening the Agents window as the normal starting state, but I want the editor to be the default so I land in my project files, not in the Agents window. When I’m in the Agents window and choose Editor window to get back to the code for this project, Cursor doesn’t open or focus the editor for the current workspace—it sends me to another already-open editor window, so I end up in the wrong project. Expected behavior: editor first by default, and Editor window should always bring me to the editor for the same project/session I’m in, not whichever window was last active globally.
Steps to Reproduce
Optional — show the wrong-window bug clearly: Open two different projects in two Cursor windows (e.g. Window A = Project A, Window B = Project B).
Focus Window B so its editor is frontmost.
Switch to Window A and open the Agents view (same window as Project A).
Start or open an agent chat so you’re clearly in Project A’s Agents context.
Click Editor window (or the control that should return you to the code for this project).
Observe: The wrong window may get focus (e.g. Window B / Project B) instead of Project A’s editor in Window A.
For “Agents opens by default” (if you’re filing that part too):
Close Cursor completely (all windows).
Open Cursor and open one folder/workspace as usual.
Observe: The Agents window/panel is shown immediately or becomes the main view, instead of the editor with files/tree as the default landing state.

Does this stop you from using Cursor
No - Cursor works, but with this issue
