Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, thanks for the report. This is a known issue in version 2.3.x.

There are two workarounds depending on your layout:

Option 1 - Switch to the Editor layout:

  1. Press Cmd + E (or go to View > Editor Layout)
  2. Open Settings with Cmd + ,
  3. Search for “Command Center” and enable it
  4. The navigation buttons should show up

Option 2 - If you’re already in the Editor layout:
The buttons don’t show when the Agent panel is on the right. As a temporary workaround, move the Agent panel to the left.
