Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

You can still click the title it just doesn’t have the big bubble around it

Yes, but when I’m developing with Flutter, I don’t see the “Tool Bar” and in the settings (Cmd + ,) under “Debug: Tool bar location”, if I select anything (I selected Command Center), I don’t see the Tool Bar, which is necessary for debugging Flutter applications. However, the “Window: Command center” option is active for me. Only when I roll back to version 2.5, I can use Cmd+E to show the Tool Bar. In 2.6, Cmd+E has no effect.

Can you share some screenshots or even a video of exactly what you’re referring to and I can make sure it’s back for 2.7

I’m experiencing the same issue in both Agent and Editor modes. Previously, Cmd+E fixed it, but now it doesn’t work. What’s strange is that it doesn’t happen on all machines.

2.5:

2.6:

And I can’t show the “Tool Bar“ in the second screenshot using “Cmd + E“ in 2.6, but in 2.5 I can do it

Will allow you to turn the control panel back on for the next release, and tomorrows nightly. Sorry for the thrash here
