Describe the Bug After updating Cursor to the latest version, the Status Bar (the bottom bar showing Git branch, line/column info, errors, encoding, etc.) no longer appears at all. It was visible before the update and I haven’t changed any settings related to UI layout. Steps to Reproduce Update …

Hey, thanks for the report. Please check: View > Appearance > Status Bar - try turning it off and on again in this repo. In 2.1+ it sometimes required toggling the per‑workspace setting. If that doesn’t help, please share: The values of workbench.statusBar.visible in both User and Workspace se…

Please revert whatever nonsense change you…

It actually seems to be opposite now? When I have status bar turned off, it shows, when I turn it on, it disappears.

Workaround works for me, however it disappeared with my add-ons. No more resource monitor. It would be great if every other week I could open Cursor and find out that there’s not been another UI f*up, or that they turned all the panels upside down again without asking me if I wanted to do that.
