Hey, this looks like a known layout persistence issue that’s come up before.

Try these workarounds:

  1. Open the Command Palette with Ctrl+Shift+P and run the command View: Toggle Primary Side Bar Position. This might move the panel back.

  2. If that doesn’t help, add this to settings.json via Ctrl+Shift+P then Preferences: Open User Settings (JSON):

"workbench.sideBar.location": "right"
  1. Another option is to run View: Reset View Locations from the Command Palette.

Also, a couple quick questions:

  • What exactly moved, the sidebar File Explorer or the chat agent panel?
  • You can copy your Cursor version from Help > About, or via Ctrl+Shift+P then About.

The team is aware of this issue. Let me know if any of these workarounds helped.
