Does this stop you from using Cursor

Sometimes - I can sometimes use Cursor

Hey, thanks for the report.

A couple of questions to narrow it down:

1. What exact setting did you use to hide the title bar? Was it window.titleBarStyle: native, or the Cursor-specific “Title Bar” toggle?
2. Does the issue go away if you turn the title bar back on?

This looks like a layout calculation bug when the title bar is hidden and the terminal is placed in the side panel.

Let me know what happens when you toggle the title bar.

Thanks for the quick response.

1. My window.titleBarStyle is set to “custom” (default). I hid the title bar through the cursor-specific “Title Bar” toggle.
2. Yes, the issue goes away if I toggle it back on.

I just wanted to note that I also encounter this issue when toggling the “Title Bar” in cursor settings. It creates the same gap above which shifts the terminal render down and clips off the bottom half.

I’m actually glad I figured out that this was the reason because it was driving me crazy, but it would be great If i could disable the title bar and not have that happen.

Just want to follow up and bump this request! Is there a fix planned for this? Thanks!
