Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?
Cursor IDE
Describe the Bug
In the primary (left) sidebar, a solid light-grey rectangular area appears at the bottom, just above the status bar. It sits next to the account and settings icons and looks like empty/incorrectly painted UI rather than intentional content. The rest of the sidebar uses the dark theme; this block stands out and has no label or controls.
Steps to Reproduce
- Open Cursor with the primary sidebar visible (left).
- Open views that use the bottom of the sidebar (e.g. Outline, Timeline, References, Dependencies — as in the screenshot).
- Look at the bottom of the sidebar, above the status bar, beside the profile and gear icons.
- Observe the light-grey rectangular region with no text or icons.
Expected Behavior
The sidebar bottom should match the theme with no stray empty grey rectangle; that area should either show normal chrome, proper empty state, or nothing—not a mismatched grey block.
