Glass/Agent mode being forced on me

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

I have to get something off my chest now… more and more i feel like the Agent mode is being forced on me. Been using Cursor from the start and been an adovocate for it in many ways, but im actually at the point now this is going tot make me change.

Every new release, glass/agent mode is forced on me. I open my work in the morning and i could be running 4 windows, all open in glass regardless of me choosing editor as the main thing in the settings.

Finally it starts tot open in editor after several opens and closes… only for the next update to do this all over again, we we get daily updates mostly with cursor.

Since this last update, wow, nothing is having it, i can open in glass/agent, shout alot, then check all my settings, switch modes, close the glass mode down first… then close the editor down, click cursor and glass/agent mode starts.

I dont want agent/glass mode, i never wanted it, i want an editor i want an ide but nope…

This is getting to the point now im ready to look at alternatives which is a real shame as i have several accounts and use it heavily, but i just cant keep doing this its driving me mad.

Steps to Reproduce

open… change modes… close agent mode… close ide… restart cursor

Expected Behavior

open editor mode

Operating System

Linux

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

There are many ongoing threads about this. I suggest we consolidate them into the following!
