Layout is overwritten by cursor

Support Bug Reports

Hey, I see you already found a solution using CMD+E, nice work.

If the issue comes back after a restart or update, try this workaround:

  1. In settings.json, add "workbench.sideBar.location": "right"
  2. Open the layout menu (in the top-right)
  3. Find the “Agent Sidebar” setting and switch it to “Left”

These two settings work together. If the primary sidebar is on the right, the agent sidebar should be on the left, and vice versa. After changing it, restart Cursor.

More details here: workbench.sideBar.location: right, not respected after 2.3.26 update, even with --disable-extensions flag - #2 by Colin

Let me know if it keeps coming back.
