Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, thanks for the report. I’ll pass it to the team.

I realized at the top there is the Agents and Editor tab. In the editor tab its back to normal. However I didn’t really manage to find the difference.

After the latest update (today) for me it is now constantly flipping back from Editor view to Agents view without me telling it to do anything - like I’ll just be working in some other app and then come back to Cursor and it has suddenly switched back to Agents mode. (I’m on macOS and this is is full-screen window mode, if that matters). It has done this several times now in the past hour, and I keep having to flip it back. Maddening!
