Cursor UI Issues – Panel Size & Window State

Discussion
1

Hi,

I’m not sure if this has been brought up before, but I’ve noticed an issue with panel rendering in Cursor. If I open a single instance, the panels usually load correctly, keeping their previous sizes. However, if I open a second project in a new Cursor instance, the side panel often starts off very narrow instead of retaining its last state.

This was never an issue in VS Code, so it’s surprising to see it happening in Cursor, given that it’s a fork. Also, the second instance always opens in a small window mode, even if I previously closed it maximized.

I get that these aren’t major issues, but considering Windows 98 solved them almost 30 years ago, it feels a bit embarrassing for modern software. Any chance we can get this working as expected?

Thanks!

Close all instances at once using Windows Task Manager, because the memory is at 99% anyway, then, when opening it back, it brings back all of them exactly as they were, so this might be a good workaround.

No answer here? Why? Is UI not important? There are other things too in this world, not just the AI…
