Agent Sidebar keeps popping from the right even after hiding it!

Support Bug Reports

Cursor team, the latest updates to Cursor (I’m at 2.3) have been good from a stability point, so great job on the QA efforts so far.

However, I wanted to note that, a new design experience that you introduced is particularly annoying from a UX front for me on one item (see GUI element on the right side)

-This agent side panel that inconsistently slides-in and pops out when I’m scrolling my agent chat history is super annoying to deal with and highly sensitive (as it actually ends up blocking my ability to scroll with a mouse pointer). I’m on a laptop and when I try to drag the scrollbar, this agent side panel history comes in and out at random times and seems to trigger too easily. It stops my scrolling too which is why I’m more annoyed at it.

It’s especially annoying when I have other VS code extensions like Claude Code running where I’m trying to do simple scrolls on a chat.

Can you please advise how to prevent this agent panel from showing up when I just drag and scroll my chat history using my mouse pointer?

Otherwise, it would be nice to have this turned off by default.

+1 on this, keeps bugging me too

Ah, it is back for me.

Let me try and chase this down!

Thank you! This was a quirky fix, but it worked for me as well.

How to fix this stupied thing ?

27

Anyone find a fix for this?

It’s crazy annoying try to hit the vertical scrollbar on the right in the chat (and the tab is stupidly small and thin too) and every time I hover the New Agent/History tab pops up, even though I can already select those from the options above.

Some guy mentioned above to switch from Agent to Editor but I didn’t see that option in my cursor.

Hey all.

This behavior should be removed in 2.4. You can already try it out on Nightly.
