Missing Essential UI Controls: Sidebar/Panel Toggles & Add Button

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

In the latest stable version of Cursor, the layout customization menu (top right) is missing several essential toggle options and the “Add” button for custom views. These features were present in the Early Access builds but seem to have disappeared or been restricted in the current nightly release.

I sorely miss these features in my daily workflow, as I can no longer flexibly adjust my interface.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open Cursor (nightly version).
  2. Click on the Layout/Panel icon in the top right corner.
  3. Observe the dropdown menu.

Expected Behavior

An “Add” button to create new view configurations.
Toggle switches for: Agents, Chat, Editors, Panel, Sidebar, and Status Bar.
The Agent Sidebar orientation setting (Left/Right).

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, thanks for the report. I’ll pass it to the team.

Thank you. Now it’s also gone in the prod/stable-version. :pensive_face:
