Badges (like files changed) are cut off

Hi,

I recently upgraded to the newest version of cursor and the badges (like files changed) are cut off.

My settings.json file looks like this:

{
    "workbench.sideBar.location": "right",
    "workbench.activityBar.orientation": "vertical",
    "workbench.activityBar.location": "top",
    "workbench.iconTheme": "bearded-icons"
}

My Cursor information:

Version: 0.46.3
VSCode Version: 1.96.2
Commit: fce3511bab261b4c986797f3e1e40e7621bbd010

Node.js: 20.18.1
V8: 12.8.374.38-electron.0
OS: Darwin arm64 24.3.0

Would love to know if there’s a fix for this or how I can best resolve this. Thank you so much!

Thank you for your post.
Previously, I thought the Cursor editor would never display icon badges since I’ve been using Cursor since version 0.44.

With your configuration settings:

{
  "workbench.sideBar.location": "right",
  "workbench.activityBar.orientation": "vertical",
  "workbench.activityBar.location": "top"
}

I did see the cutting of badge when showing the activity bars icon on top but not left.

The finally, I found that the setting related to them in settings.json could be diff with that in UI setting in WorkBench-> Appearance, which I guess Cursor need to fix them to make them consistently.

after all, what I want is like this in vscode:

but not this currently in cursor:

NOTE: the above cursor badge shown is with the above settings.json while the UI settings like this:
