Any time I switch repos or open Cursor, the Explorer panel moves the Outline section to near the top of the panel. I keep sliding it down, switch a repo and all settings are undone (even if I had previously fixed it in the other repo). I switch repos a good bit. I do this via File Open Recent. Typically for me, one is a repo and the other a workspace with two repos.
Hey, thanks for the detailed report with the screenshot and versions, that really helped. I reproduced it on my side. It’s a bug in how Explorer restores section sizes. The size is saved correctly, but when you open the window, the expanded Outline section stretches to almost the full height of the sidebar, and that wrong value immediately overwrites your layout. That’s why fixing it manually doesn’t help, and it happens again every time you switch repos since the sizes are saved per workspace.
This is on our side, not a settings issue. I’ve filed it internally, but I can’t share an ETA for a fix yet.
Workaround for now: keep the Outline section collapsed when you don’t need it, just click its header. Collapsed sections restore correctly after a restart. Only the expanded one gets stretched. When you need it, expand it temporarily.
Let me know if this helps in your repo switching workflow.
