Hey, since you have show icons enabled on the sidebar, when you click the chat icon there’s a close (X) button for the chat. If you hover over the icon, you’ll be able to see it.
The problem is that if I click on the chat icon without aiming, 99% of the time, I close it instead of opening it. So I have to aim with the mouse to open the tab instead of just clicking quickly.
By the way, I didn’t turn on the icons intentionally; they somehow replaced the text themselves (perhaps the old configurations from VS Code were reinstated when Cursor was updated).
When the icons appeared, I thought it was a cool update because the text never fit, and only part of the tabs were visible, while the rest had to be searched for in the drop-down list. Then, when the text fade-out effect was added, even the text stopped displaying, except for the first few letters.
