Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, thanks for the report. There is actually a way to minimize the editor pane, look at the top right corner of the editor tabs pane. You should see layout control buttons, including one to minimize or hide the editor area.

Try clicking the leftmost button in that toolbar in the top right corner. The keyboard shortcut is Ctrl+Alt+E on Windows.

Let me know if this works for you.
