Plan modal in the right sidebar is sticky; causing it to hide other messages

Bug Reports

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

When I interact with the AI agent in the sidebar and generate a plan, the resulting “plan modal” (containing the title, description, and to-do list)

incorrectly becomes “sticky” and fixes itself to the top of the sidebar’s viewport.

Any content that follows the plan (such as commands or subsequent chat messages) scrolls underneath the sticky modal, becoming obscured and inaccessible.

Steps to Reproduce

Open the Cursor IDE and activate the AI chat sidebar on the right.

Generate a feature plan that populates a “plan modal” in the sidebar.

Click on start build

Begin scrolling down within the sidebar.

Observe that as you scroll, the plan modal sticks to the top of the sidebar.

Continue scrolling down and notice that the content below the plan is now hidden as it moves underneath the sticky modal.

Expected Behavior

The plan modal should not stick to the top and overlap other elements within the same scrolling container. All content in the sidebar should remain visible and accessible as the user scrolls.
