Describe the Bug

Right-clicking a chat in the Agents sidebar and choosing “Pin” has no effect. The list order does not change and there is no visual indication that the chat is pinned.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open Cursor and show the Agents sidebar (list of chat threads).
  2. Right-click any chat item (e.g. a conversation title).
  3. Click “Pin” in the context menu.

Expected Behavior

The chat moves to the top of the list and/or shows a pin icon (or similar) to indicate it is pinned.

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, thanks for the report. This is a known issue.

In the meantime, here’s a workaround:

The problem is that if you archive a pinned chat, it still counts toward the pinned chat limit (even if it’s not visible). Fix:

  • Open the Archived section in the sidebar
  • Right-click the archived chats and select Unpin (if they were pinned)
  • After that, you should be able to pin new chats

Let me know if the workaround doesn’t help.
