Remove from Sidebar unexpectedly removes other projects from the sidebar

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

When I right-click a project in the Glass / Agents sidebar and choose “Remove from Sidebar”, the selected project is removed as expected. However, other unrelated projects also disappear from the sidebar at the same time.

This makes it difficult to manage the project list, because removing one entry can unexpectedly hide several projects that I still want quick access to.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open Cursor in Glass / Agents view.
  2. Ensure several projects are visible in the left sidebar (e.g. 3+ recently opened folders).
  3. Right-click one project you want to remove.
  4. Click “Remove from Sidebar”.
  5. Observe the sidebar: the targeted project is gone, but other projects that were not selected are also missing.

Expected Behavior

Only the project I explicitly removed should disappear from the sidebar. All other projects should remain visible.

Operating System

Windows 10/11

Version Information

Version: 3.6.31 (Stable)
VSCode Version: 1.105.1
Layout: Glass
Platform: win32-x64-user
OS: Windows 10 (10.0.19044)

Additional Information

The sidebar project list appears to be stored separately from File → Open Recent (as noted in other forum threads). Workaround: reopening removed projects via Open Folder / Open Workspace restores them individually, but they may disappear again after another remove action.

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, thanks for the detailed report with the steps and version, it really helps.

This is a known bug. In the Glass sidebar, Remove from Sidebar removes all worktrees and branches linked to the same repo, not just the selected entry. We already have an issue filed, but I can’t share a timeline for the fix yet.

The workaround you found is correct. You can bring removed projects back via Open Folder / Open Workspace, but they’ll disappear again the next time you remove that same repo.

Once I have an update on the fix, I’ll reply in the thread.

Hey, thanks for checking in, this is the same bug mentioned above and we’re already tracking it on our side.

I can’t share an ETA for a fix yet. Once I have an update, I’ll reply in this thread.

For now the workaround is the same: you can bring the missing projects back via Open Folder / Open Workspace, but if you Remove the same repo again, they’ll disappear again.

Hey @j-r-b_oxyad @zhang_steve

This should be fixed in an upcoming release of v3.7, if it hasn’t shipped already!
