I’m using the terminal in the secondary sidebar. When I press the + key to open a new terminal while in the terminal, a new chat opens instead of a new terminal. When I move the terminal from the secondary sidebar to the panel, I can create a new terminal, but I can’t create one in the secondary sidebar.
Steps to Reproduce
A new terminal should appear in the secondary sidebar.
Operating System
MacOS
Current Cursor Version (Menu → About Cursor → Copy)
This looks like a regression in action routing for the sidebar. The + button in the terminal should create a new terminal, but in the secondary sidebar it triggers creating a chat.
For now, the workaround is to keep the terminal in the panel, like you already found. It’s frustrating that this breaks your workflow.
I passed this to the team and linked it to your report. If you can share a screenshot or a short video of the issue, that would help speed up the fix.
A couple more details:
Which sidebar is the terminal in exactly, left or right?
The secondary sidebar is located on the right side. Moving it to the primary sidebar fixes the problem. Similarly, moving it to the panel also fixes it. The problem is only with the secondary sidebar on the right side.
I have the integrated terminal tab on the right panel along chats. Now having both “chats” and “terminal” tabs on the right panel with the terminal tab selected, I’m losing all the terminal options (switch, kill terminals etc…). It keeps the “chats” options (new chat, chat history etc…) instead
In order to retrieve terminal options I have to change my usual workflow having the terminal tab elsewhere… See the difference below:
Among all the issues I reported, not a single one has been fixed, so my hopes aren’t that high for this one either.
Steps to Reproduce
Move the terminal tab to the right side panel along chats, and select it.
Expected Behavior
when selecting the terminal tab, terminal options shows up in-place of the chat options (which remains)
