Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey @adidogCEO, thanks for flagging! You’re not doing anything wrong here - this is an issue we’re tracking, and a fix has already landed that should come in an upcoming update.

In the meantime, splitting two chats that already have messages still works: start the second agent with Cmd+N, send it a first message, then drag one chat from the sidebar onto the right or bottom edge of the other. That avoids the empty pane that triggers this.

After the update, it’s completely unusable, but my tokens were still consumed.
