Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

The selectors “Select Workspace” and “Select Agent Branch” in main screen of the agent view are to short.
if you have longer workspace path and branch name it is hard to read which branch is selected.
The main window could use the available width you have on large displays.

Steps to Reproduce

Open a workspace that has a longer path name on Linux in the Cursor GUI in agent view:

e.g.
/workspaces/meihostname/myusername/ws-dev-myusername-myproject

Branch name in this case would be
dev-myusername-myproject

Expected Behavior

The fields should use the available space of the scree width. Or a popup window with mouse over to display the full path.

Operating System

Linux

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hi @Soupchicken Thanks for the post.

You’re right that both selectors stop at a fixed width, so long paths and branch names get cut off even when the window has room. Today they’re sized to line up with the prompt box rather than the full window width, so that space goes unused on large displays. Nothing on your end.

One thing to try: hover over either selector for a moment and a tooltip should appear with the full branch name or workspace name. Could you check whether that works on Linux, and whether the workspace tooltip shows enough of the path to tell your ws-dev-… workspaces apart, or only the repository name?

Hello @kevinn thanks for the quick feedback,

for the “Select Agent Branch” selector the mouse over tooltip indeed displays the full branch name. That’s good !

For the “Select Workspace” there is also a mouse over tooltip but it doesn’t display the local workspace path in my case. It displays the remote path on the git server. In my case: “git.mycompany.com/repo”

I would expect here the local workspace directory to be displayed if it is selected !

Thanks.
