Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, thanks for the report. A couple things that should help reassure you about chat history.

Chat history is not deleted. Larger chats around 20+ messages are automatically closed when you restart the IDE or create a new chat, but the conversations are still there. You can find them in the history panel, the clock icon at the top of the chat pane. The empty New Agent tabs that build up on startup can be closed manually.

The big buttons that shrink on launch is just the initial panel render before content loads. It’s cosmetic.

Both symptoms, the accumulating empty tabs and the auto closing of large chats, are known bugs and we’re already tracking them. I can’t share a fix timeline yet, but I’ll follow up as soon as I have an update.
