Sometimes when I click “submit” it maximises, such that I can’t see the top bar of the composer window, I can’t use escape to shut it down. I figured out I can drag it and sometimes then I can see the top, but not always. And if I use reset window shortcut it goes back to its top height.
So the floating window aspect is very glitchy for me.
It can to the point where I have to restart Cursor as I can’t shut the window, and hence starts to become an unusable feature.
Also, this aspect of the UI is problematic
Sorry Composer is doing this! We’ve had the same problem internally. It will be fixed soon.
In the meantime, here’s a hacky way to fix it:
- Zoom out the Cursor window
- Drag the Composer window down so the “x” comes into view

In case it helps, I also frequently click and drag this area on the window to bring it down.
(pretty please make the Composer window draggable to another screen )

ok, the zoom works, cheers, didn’t think of that. Noticed that you can resize from sides and top, but not from bottom, which seems odd, otherwise I would have resized up and moved it down.
While floating could be useful (e.g. to drag to another window) it doesn’t seem to fit my intuitions of how vscode like editor should work, so it feels like there should an option to “attach to side panel” like the chat editor has.
In a recent version of Composer, you could dock it to the terminal area.
The interface changed in Cursor update 0.39.0
in order to add some features users were requesting, such as modified file navigation and composer chat history etc.
A couple of versions back it looked like this.
I really like Composer, and the direction it’s heading in, but I find I am constantly resizing, moving, hiding, minimising, maximising the window. I also find the Ctrl + L sidebar chat panel ‘gets in the way’ of the Editor. I’d love to be able to drag both Composer and Ctrl + L chat to another screen, and have them maximised. Then I could have my AI on one screen and the Editor on the other.
