Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

The sidebars and terminal keep resetting width (typically narrower).

Steps to Reproduce

I’m unsure how to replicate, because it keeps happening while I’m in flow trying to do something else.

It is incredibly frustrating.

It’s even more frustrating because this bug existed about 6 months ago.

Cursor team, can you please write tests for bugs you fix, so that you don’t reintroduce them later?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

when I’m chatting with an agent, when it responds it widens it’s window, again and again, until it’s as wide as it can get, and the sidebar is way too narrow to use. it doesn’t matter how often I resize it, it just keeps self-widening, making it hard to use another agent in the sidebar.

Steps to Reproduce

type in chat and submit

Expected Behavior

it should NEVER auto resize a window, ever

I’m still seeing the same problem. The panels in the Agents window in 2.0.75 constantly re-size. It is really annoying.

The thing that confuses me, is I think it was 2.0.40 that it stopped being an issue for me. Why is it still an issue for so many people?

This is one of the things about bugs in Cursor, and the nature of how they affect different groups of people. I haven’t been able to use @Docs for over two months now. However, some people seem to be able to use that feature today. Other people have mentioned losing the ability to use @Docs just a couple of weeks ago.

That is extremely strange. Why would bugs affect people at different times, across different versions, especially when an explicit fix was made, IIRC, in 2.0.40? There is a level of robustness and consistency in design and implementation, that could alleviate these extremely strange bugs that appear to be very difficult to track down and resolve. It might also help prevent repetitive regression with each new version of Cursor.

Same here:

It is annoying to work with.

I’ve also been experiencing this issue mostly with the File Explorer sidebar. I’m not 100% sure, but IIRC this started happening arount the introduction of Agents workspace.
