The icons disappeared from the right sidebar

Describe the Bug

The icons disappeared from the right sidebar

Steps to Reproduce

Add more than three extensions to the sidebar as separate tabs

Expected Behavior

When I add tabs from other extensions to the right sidebar, all icons are displayed as tabs that I can click on to open the corresponding tab with the extension. In the case of the video, the timer icon previously appeared there.

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, thanks for the report, we’ll investigate it.

I tried to use devtools to see what the problem was and made a couple of corrections, and everything became OK.

I also did the following, maybe you can implement it somehow so that it can be turned on/off optionally:

  1. Aligned the icons vertically in the center
  2. Made the width and height the same and similar to the main sidebar for consistency (and it’s more compact that way)
  3. I completely removed the close chat icon (if anyone uses icons, it’s probably to make it more compact, and with the close icon, even a few tabs already stick out beyond the screen, and there are several other options for closing)
  4. I aligned the icons in the main sidebar flush with the edge (as in the sidebar with chat), so when I change the width of the sidebar, the icons stay in place and I don’t have to look every time to see how far they are from the right edge, they are always where they are

Here is a video on how to fix this with DevTools (I cannot upload a file due to the 30 MB limit):

Here is the result after all the tweaks:
