Blank grey area at bottom of Source Control sidebar below GRAPH section

[Netanel_Harush]

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

There is a persistent blank/grey area at the bottom of the Source Control sidebar, below the GRAPH section. The space is not part of GRAPH or any other collapsible panel — it appears as an unclickable dead zone between the last section and the bottom status bar. The issue occurs whether or not the AGENT REVIEW and GRAPH sections are visible.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open Cursor IDE
2. Navigate to the Source Control sidebar (click the Source Control icon or Ctrl+Shift+G)
3. Observe the blank grey area below the GRAPH section (or below the last visible section)
4. The blank area persists regardless of whether AGENT REVIEW and GRAPH sections are visible or collapsed
5. Resetting view locations (View: Reset View Locations) and reloading the window (Developer: Reload Window) does not resolve it

Expected Behavior

The sidebar sections should fill the available space without leaving a blank grey dead zone. No empty area should appear below the last visible section.

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hi Netanel!

This is a known visual regression in v2.6.20 that affects the sidebar layout, particularly when the activity bar is in vertical mode. Several other users have reported the same blank/grey gap appearing at the bottom of the sidebar.

The team is already tracking this and a fix has been committed. It should ship in the next update.

I’ll merge this thread into the main tracking thread so the discussion stays in one place: https://forum.cursor.com/t/interface-bug-extra-color-area/155113
