Describe the Bug

The COMPOSER window automatically switches from “1” to “2” upon startup in the latest version. Previously, it would stay on “1” by default.

Steps to Reproduce

Open the application.
Observe the COMPOSER window’s behavior.
Notice it automatically switches to “2” instead of staying on “1” as it did in previous versions.

Expected Behavior

The COMPOSER window should remain on “1” by default unless manually switched by the user.

Does this stop you from using Cursor

Yes - Cursor is unusable
Sometimes - I can sometimes use Cursor
No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, it looks like you’ve opened the Composer in editor mode, and you want to move it back to the sidebar? If so, you can switch display modes between Composer as an editor, Composer as a bar, and Composer in a floating window using the shortcut Cmd + D.

Solved, thank you.

Is it possible to change this shortcut? I cannot find this shortcut inside the Keyboard Shortcut settings, and unfortunately it overlaps with the cmd+D delete character shortcut on MacOS.

As far as I know, it’s not possible to do that yet.
