Cloud Workspaces Duplicating (Again)

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

In the sidebar, under Workspaces, starting a new chat in one workspace has about a 50/50 chance of moving to a new Cloud Workspace. Every new agent will randomly shuffle into one of the two workspaces. This has previously happened, soon after the new IDE release, and been fixed; it appears the most recent update has introduced a regression.

(Yes, I understand the difference between local and cloud workspaces. The redacted screen cap shows 5 workspaces– 2 cloud “th-marketing”, 2 cloud “th”, 1 local “th”. The agents that spawned new workspaces were often done minutes apart, and creating subsequent new agents continue to shuffle between the identical but distinct workspaces.)

Steps to Reproduce

Start a multiple new chats in an established Cloud Workspace.

Expected Behavior

Clicking “New Agent in [repo]” on an established Cloud Workspace should reliably add that agent to the established Cloud Workspace, not add more Workspaces under the exact same name/repo.

Hey @MishaTheMisha, thanks for the report!

This is a known issue we’re already tracking, and I’ve added your report to it.

When the sidebar is grouped by Workspace, one repo can split into two identical cloud sections when its agents carry slightly different environment metadata, which is why new agents seem to shuffle between the two.

In the meantime, opening the grouping control at the top of the Workspaces list (the filter icon → Customize Sidebar) and switching Group by from Workspace to Repository should collapse the duplicates into one section. I’ll follow up here as things progress!
