In 2.6.19 cursor IDE update today I’ve lost the Terminal ‘split/new’ icons at the top of the right pane. What happened there, is that deliberate as it’s not ideal? ---

Hi - I keep the Terminal in the right pane, next to Cursor chats in Editor mode. As of today I don’t see the usual ‘Split / New Terminal’ widgets at the top of the terminal, e.g. so it now looks like this: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/cursor1/original/3X/d/7/d7973c05573d5ca7c8ba3deefe4b52bb32eff17a.png) ..before today and it looked like this (roughly, this is vscode but it had the split and + for new terminal rather than just the single + for new chat) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/cursor1/original/3X/f/7/f72d4fb99c52df0686bad659eca35f2a376c52d6.png) version and platform info: Version: 2.6.19 (user setup) VSCode Version: 1.105.1 Commit: 224838f96445be37e3db643a163a817c15b36060 Date: 2026-03-12T04:07:27.435Z Build Type: Stable Release Track: Default Electron: 39.4.0 Chromium: 142.0.7444.265 Node.js: 22.22.0 V8: 14.2.231.22-electron.0 OS: Windows\_NT x64 10.0.26200 ---

I don’t really understand this, as in am I the only one using a Terminal in Cursor in that area of the screen and wants to do a ‘split’? I thought it would be a common thing but I might just be using the IDE is an unusual way. Where do people run their terminals, outside of Cursor I guess? ---

Probably caught up in this regression? [Run and Debug controls missing from Run and Debug panel in 2.6.20 - Support / Bug Reports - Cursor - Community Forum](https://forum.cursor.com/t/run-and-debug-controls-missing-from-run-and-debug-panel-in-2-6-20/155088) ---
