Glitchy behavior while resizing the sidebar

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

Can’t resize the primary sidebar properly when I have my terminal position set to left.

Steps to Reproduce

Set panel position to left and try to resize the primary sidebar when the panel is closed. It will unexpectedly open the panel instead of resizing the sidebar. This is a cursor specefic but. This works perfectly in vscode somehow.

Expected Behavior

Even when the panel (positioned in left) is closed, it should resize the primary sidebar instead of opening the panel.

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Thanks for the report, I’ve raised it with the team.
