Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?
Cursor IDE
Describe the Bug
In the current state of Cursor—and this has been the case for a long time, since it became possible to start sub-agents—there are two major limitations in the new tab where the sub-agent is launched:
- First, there is no way to interact with it; there is no chat window where we can communicate with the sub-agent.
- Second, we cannot see the context window. We do not know whether it is at 20% or 80%.
These two factors are, of course, incredibly limiting.
