Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, thanks for the report. I need a bit more info to understand what’s going on:

  1. By “editor mode,” do you mean the Agent/Editor toggle (switching between the Agent and Editor layouts)?
  2. How are you opening the terminal? With a keyboard shortcut (which one exactly?) or by clicking the panel?
  3. What exactly changes after opening the terminal? Does it visually switch from Editor to Agent, or is it something else?

A short screen recording showing the issue would be super helpful if you can share it.

Hi Dean
1- yes I mean the Agent/Editor toggle
2- I open trminal by shortcut, and sometimes am using the panel, the problem occurs in both cases
3- It’s as if I didn’t choose any mode.
