Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, thanks for the report and the video, it makes the issue clear.

This is a known issue, the chat panel width doesn’t persist between sessions. A few users have reported similar behavior before: UI constantly resets layout in Cursor 2.0.

I’ve shared this with the team.

Any updates? Issue is still exists

fixing right now
