After the new update, I’m stuck with using the Chat/Editor only on the right side of my screen and can’t attach it to the left sidebar at all. When I try to drag and drop chat onto the left sidebar, it just doesn’t do anything. How can I fix this? I hate having a panel on the left and the right open, it eats up my limited laptop screen space and I just want to move it to the left side where the rest of my panels open.

Using MacOS, latest version. Cursor version 0.46.4

I’m on 0.46.7. After the update, the “Chat” view now takes up the entire Secondary Sidebar, displacing all the views I prefer to keep there. It’s also impossible to move the Chat view anywhere else (I like to keep it in the same pane as the Terminal).

Also, if I enable “Open Chat as Editor” and open the Chat, the Secondary Sidebar just closes automatically! This happens even though I put non-Chat views there.

Disruptive and baffling. Makes me want to go back to regular VS Code.
