Bug: Settings > Rules tab label doesn't update after "Save Workspace As..."

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

Settings > Rules tab label doesn’t update after “Save Workspace As…”

Steps to Reproduce

Steps to Reproduce:
Open a multi-root workspace (ad-hoc, created by adding folders via “Add Folder to Workspace…”)
Note that Settings > Rules, Skills… shows the tab labeled as the first folder name
Go to File > Save Workspace As…
Save as something-different-than-initial-name.code-workspace in a parent directory
Cursor reloads the workspace. Title bar correctly shows “chess-com (Workspace)”
Open Settings > Rules, Skills…

Expected Behavior

Expected: The workspace tab label should update to “something-different-than-initial-name.code” (matching the workspace file name).

Actual: The tab still shows initial name (the old first-folder-derived name). Persists after full quit and relaunch.

Notes:
The title bar correctly reflects the new workspace name
Rules functionality is unaffected – only the tab label is stale
This appears to be a cached label that doesn’t refresh when an unnamed workspace is converted to a named .code-workspace file

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, thanks for the report. It’s very detailed and really helps.

It looks like in the Rules tab the workspace name label is cached from the original name taken from the folder, and it doesn’t get re-read after saving the workspace to a .code-workspace file. It’s purely cosmetic, but it’s definitely a bug.

I’ve flagged this for the team. We’ll update here if there’s any news.

Legend. Thanks for the prompt reply.
