Menu bar disappearing in the agent mode?

[uduse (uu)]

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

I vaguely remember me turning toggle some option to hide the menu bar in the agent view, but now it’s gone and I can’t find the option to bring it back. Anyone can point me to the right direction?

Steps to Reproduce

• Toggle some option to hide the menu bar on top of the IDE.
• Update Cursor
• Menu bar remains hidden, but the option to bring it back seems gone?

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, thanks for the report. Based on the screenshot and your mention of toggling an option, this might be related to a UI customization extension or custom CSS settings you’ve applied.

Try these steps:

1. Check in safe mode to see if an extension is causing this:

   • Run: cursor --disable-extensions
   • Does the header reappear?

2. Check extension settings:

   • If you have any of these installed: “Custom CSS and JS”, "Custom UI Style”, etc.
   • Check their settings for any hide/toggle options

3. Check your settings.json (Cmd+Shift+P → “Preferences: Open User Settings (JSON)”):

   • Look for custom CSS injections or vscode_custom_css settings
   • Share relevant sections if you find anything

Let me know what you discover, especially if disabling extensions brings back the header!

1. Check in safe mode to see if an extension is causing this:

   • Run: cursor --disable-extensions

   • Does the header reappear? → Yes, see image below

2. Removed and disabled all such things.

3. Nothing suspicious there.
