Floating review buttons gone again (I dread Cursor updates)

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

I took a chance and allowed Cursor to update itself. The floating review buttons are missing again. I’m stuck in “Editor” mode and cannot switch to “Editor Classic”. Editor classic is the only view where the floating review buttons work.

Separately, I’m not a fan of the max-width of the agent chat that is enforced with the regular “Editor” mode. Editor Classic lets you resize the chat to be much more wide.

Steps to Reproduce

Update Cursor to the latest. It will switch you from Editor Classic to “Editor” and the floating review buttons will be missing.

Expected Behavior

I expect that Cursor does not break with each update.

Operating System

MacOS

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, this is expected behavior. Editor Classic was intentionally deprecated in recent updates, so all users are now on the unified Editor layout.

The review controls moved to the breadcrumb and tab area at the top. We’ve heard this feedback from a lot of users, so we already added a setting: Settings > Layout > Review Control Location, where you can choose between Breadcrumb bottom, next to the code and Island top right. It’s available in Nightly right now, and it’ll come to Stable in one of the next releases.

About the agent chat max width, that’s a known UX difference between the old Classic layout and the unified layout.

If you want the setting sooner, you can switch to the Nightly release track for now.
